Other thing, indeed : for me, it's NOT a fault to introduce Mons and not Cuesmes...But if the zip code is correct (and only "loupseul" can confirm that...), this Hit would be a "Cuesmes" Hit and not a "Mons" Hit. I will replace the file into the "Cuesmes" city - even if the encoding are correct.
I think we an assume safely that the more was found in Cuesmes.

Hello opalon,

you've already got the answer to this kind of problem:
LArdennais wrote:It's correct, but only "loupseul" can update the informations (because there's an unknown data here) : where has he really found the involved note ? In Mons ? (So, the zip code must be changed) OR in Cuesmes ? (So, the city must be changed). I am NOT "loupseul" and I can NOT change the wrong data at his place.
Only the tracker who entered the note can change this entry because only the tracker knows where she/he got the note. We have to live with such wrong entries.

Thanks tigerpranke for answering to opalon... For your information, "Volc18" introduces ALL their notes with this postal code AND this name of city...which is correct, in fact ! 8O

but then the city of Namur are wrong note....

I suggest:

When the "code postal" is WRONG and the CORRECT "location" => go to the LOCATION
When the "code postal" is CORRECT and the "location" is WRONG => go to the CODE POSTAL

Maybe I did not understand the suggestion, but suppose someone registers a bill in
"5004 Zellik"

The postal code and location do not match. How do you know which one is correct, and which one is wrong?

It's a THIRD way for answering the same thing : thanks CarlosManta to confirm the same position than tigerpranke and myself ! :D

@CarlosManta : I don't know if it's the same in your country, but in :flag-be: there are "main cities" which includes "small cities, villages..." :arrow: in this example, BOUGE is included into NAMUR, even if there are different postal codes (Namur = 5000...but not only ! - Bouge = 5004). For me, but it's just my opinion, encoding a note with "5004 Namur" as city is correct.

5004 Namur isn't correct for entering notes, because you don't enter the notes with the name of the municipality but the city/village.
Other city profiles with the names of the municipality has been split when possible. Too bad if the postcode is the same for the entire municipality: than it's not obvious which city/village was meant (and you get an extra city profile within the municipality).
If this is handled like the other cities/villages, 5004 Namur should automatically be redirected to 5004 Bouge.
If this user actually meant Namur (with postcode 5000) he'll see it when he's looking at his statistics and will change them (or ask how to change them).
5001 :arrow: Belgrade
5002 :arrow: Saint-Servais
5003 :arrow: Saint-Marc
5004 :arrow: Bouge

Only Beez can't be recovered like this, because it has the same postcode as the city of Namur (5000).

Hi,

I don't know if my request is in the good part of this forum.

So when I show the note from this city : 87 notes are insert in this city. But when I show the "vistors of this city". When I add 83 + 2 = 85 notes. Where are there 2 notes? "in the cloud" ;)

Many thanks for you answers
