Also on the English version, the

The same is true in other languages.

Führen.
It is translated in all languages, but I can't say if those languages have their own name for Leiden. But I thought we would not translate city names?
I also see that
Den Haag is translated to Hague in

. If it has to be translated than it should be The Hague. And it is called "Haag" in

which is also incorrect.
Reminder about the translation of cities. Leiden is still called
Lead in the

profile and
Führen in the

profile.
Also
Den Haag is incorrectly translated.

Hague, should be The Hague

Haag, should be Den Haag.

L'Aja, should be L'Aia

Haag, should be Hago
I'm not sure about

, it says Hadze but I think that is when you use it in a sentence. Solitary it should be Haga
and in

it is not translated.
What is the official policy in translating profile names? Are names to be translated or not?

Coordinates for

If it's still incorrect, please send a link to a note.

My notes for

Helden (example:
http://nl.eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=101638491" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)are now linked to the city profile of
Attendorn. Attendorn is in a different dot then Helden.
A good location would be
lat=51.11625 lon=7.953881.

The city assignment rules in Germany and Austria are different than e.g. in the Netherlands: Every municipality gets a city profile - the locations of each municipality are subsumed. (This was often discussed before.)
It is still possible to give every subsumed location its individual coordinates.
Your notes have got own coordinates for

Helden and only have been merged into the profile of Attendorn.
So you're getting the

Helden dot and not the Attendorn dot.

I suggest renaming Cashel (TY) to just plain old Cashel.
http://en.eurobilltracker.com/profile/?city=16426" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
There are no other Cashels to disambiguate from AFAIK and having that (TY) in there unnecessarily would be a bit like calling Munich "Munich (Bavaria)"

The is also a

Cashel in County Mayo, city ID 123826 (
wikipedia) and a

Cashel in County Galway, but not in EBT database (
wikipedia).
There was also a profile of a Cashel with "postal code" TS inside the county of Tipperary but I have merged that with the above mentioned Cashel (TY).
For the moment I've changed Cashel ID 123826 into Cashel (Mayo) and Cashel (TY) into Cashel (Tipperary), but just post if that isn't correct.

It probably makes no difference but TS is more correct than TY as Tipperary is divided into TN and TS.

I think you are confusing Towns and
Townlands, for example, according to Google Maps,
this is Cashel Co. Mayo.
Here is
Cashel, Co. Galway.
For more fun with town
lands, there's also a
France in Co. Longford. And a Cavan.
Furthermore, I used the main EBT search box to look for Cashels, and there's only one listed - Cashel (Tipperary). If, for some reason, someone somewhere ever enters a note from Cashel (Mayo) or Cashel (Galway) it would surely make sense to rename those 'cities'

Oops just realised Cashel (Mayo) is there (it doesn't show on the search results) but there's only one note listed. And that was in 2005. Edit: just read Cashel Mayo is actually a village. Though aparently a very small one.
In short, there is only one Cashel worth talking about - and that's in Tipperary.
