Granja de Iniesta should be merged to Graja de Iniesta, this one is correct.
And Chilarón de Cuenca is actually Chillarón de Cuenca.

And one note: When we split two locations with same name, we don't mark in which province is.

I found the city profile of :flag-nl: Berg Terblijt, which should be merged with :flag-nl: Berg en Terblijt which is the correct spelling of the village.

Notes entered in :flag-fi: Övertorneå (95600) show up in the stats for Image Övertorneå (95731).
They belong in :flag-fi: Ylitornio (95600) which name in Swedish is Övertorneå (yes it is a little confusing).

Also please merge :flag-fi: Karungi with :flag-fi: Karunki

Hi.

I have tracked two bills in Birmingham International Airport but once of them is wrong the postal code. As I wrote the postal code which I have seen to others users. But this code is near the airport, the town Sheldon.

I hope anybody can help me. I would like to change the postal code of this bill ( :note-10: https://es.eurobilltracker.com/notes/?id=114724722" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) from B26 2QJ to B26 3QJ.

Thanks, regards

You can achieve that by editing your note. If you have already done so, then you can use the support system to have it edited again.

There is a new city (village) on EBT. I noted Sněžník (Jílové) because there are several Sněžník in CZ and SI. This one is part of the Jílové community. County (okres) is Děčín and region (krai) is Ústecký. Of course, this is Image Czech Republik.

Postcode is 40502 and coordonates are on the Wikipedia page, Very close to the ones I measured. Latitude: 50/ 47/ 289207 N Longitude 14/ 6/ 15309 E

I hope that helps.

There is also Králický Sněžník, this is not a village but I guess this is why they wrote Sněžník (Jílové)

...Respective locations are then defined as combinations of settlement+postalcode. But in Slovenia this leads in most cases to 1 coordinate as settlements generally have 1 postalcode only.
None of the three seems to be an official settlement (naselje), so they should be merged into the profiles of the cities on which territories they are without coordinate assigned. (that is: they will get the average coordinate).
OK, this is not true! I will list 3 reasons / facts why this can & should be done.
1. Precedential cases. There are many similar cases with one city profile (and postal code) but with different GPS tags. Please see "Vogel" (ski resort and not an official settlement). You will observe that it has different GPS coordinates than the village "Ukanc" (with only one city profile for both, i.e.,"Ukanc"). There are more cases (among others, Šmarna gora in Slovenia is similar case).
2. My suggestion is closer to reality and more correct than the one suggested. You suggested average GPS coordinates!? Not wise. Average coordinates would put the locations in the middle of nowhere.
3. For the sake of dot hunting.
Best solution: different GPS, one city profile.

Yes, those are difficult cases. I would say the location of the post office doesn't really matter.
It sure is a contributing factor and it should not be ignored so easily without argument. This is the only post office (and also a bank) in the vicinity of the lake (btw: all hotels, sport & tourist lake activities, dozens of bars and a disco club are in Ribčev Laz). Stara Fužina is the second biggest village with only one bar near the lake. Basically it is hard to spend anything out of Ribčev Laz and still by the lake.
My suggestion would be to unassign these notes at all as they refer to a non-exisiting town, but merely to a region and you cannot be reasonably sure which of the places they were received. However I don't know what the official procedure is in this.
Let's not replace a good mistake with some other and even less accurate construct, please.
Unassigning the notes is not a good solution. They should stay as they are. Only the city profile "Bohinjsko jezero" should be merged with "Ribčev Laz". That's all.

Yesterday I entered notes in :flag-gr: Ελληνικό/Elliniko (22022), a small town in the middle of the Peloponnese, but the notes show up in the stats for Ελληνικό/Elliniko (167..) which is a suburb of Athens. Is it possible to make a new city profile for Elliniko (22022)?

Best solution: different GPS, one city profile.
1. I'm not sure if there are any precedential cases. Only based on the existence of the profile, I wouldn't be able to say it's a precendential case, but just a similar one (I can't see the difference in coordinates I think as I don't have notes from it, but immediately believe you).
2. When carried out consequently, the coordinates will not land in the middle of nowhere, but in the village that the note is part of. There is only 1 coordinate per village as there is only 1 postalcode in a village. The infrastructure on Vogel is officially nothing more then a street of Ukanc, although it maybe feels different. But see my question below.
3. This is surely not an argument, dots are based on coordinates, not the other way round. You cannot define locations purely on the fact that you need a dot somewhere :) , there are on average more than 150 settlements per dot in Slovenia, I'd say chances enough.

What would be your objective criterium for defining the "cityname", if not by the officially defined settlements?

Ok, I thought you were talking about the postoffice because of involvement of the postalcodes. But economic center, fair enough.

After looking to this again, yes maybe I was a bit too rigorous here. At least for Bohinj 4264 and Bohinj 4267, assignment to B.B. and Srednja vas seems to be logical. And the others, well yes, maybe in this case it's a better solution then we have now, even if not perfect.
