Incorrect dots and inaccuracies among city profiles

[LArdennais]

@Elmo : done by anything else than me...
@erasmuston : done for Michelau BUT please post a direct link to a note inserted into Wroclaw Airport ! Thanks

I entered geocoords (51.116, 16.86) for Wrocław (54-530), which will put all 9 notes registered here in the correct dot. I didn't enter geocoords for all three other forms that were used by EBTists (all slightly wrong):

• Wroclaw (54-530) 3 notes
• Wroclaw (54530) 6 notes
• Wrocław (54530) 2 notes

The system automatically atributes the same latitude and longitude to the one with the correct postal code (even without the correct slashed ł in "Wrocław"). In Poland, there is officialy a hyphen between the first two and the last three digits (as can be read on Wikipedia and confirmed on the official postal code search page).

If I don't correct the other two forms (postal code mistyped as "54530"), their geocoords will be automatically set as an "average of all siblings", which at the moment I'm writing is 51.1181, 17.0305. Thus, those two locations will stay in the wrong dot.

There are two ways of dealing with this:

1. attributing correct geocoords to the mistyped locations (whenever an educated guess of what they should be is possible, as is the case now)
2. letting them stay as they are, taking into account that they're mistyped

I prefer the first way and that's how the city-managers have been dealing for Portugal.

If there's strong and fundamented opposition to this for Poland, or for this particular case, I may reconsider my take on the subject.

I see two dots now, thanks. I corrected the postal codes.

@erasmuston Walking trough the Irish Profiles I found an other profile without a dot, where you entered a note.
it is Collinstown Westmeath

It was signed to Collinstown County Westmeath and not to Collinstown Dublin I hope You are happy with your new dot

I've entered some notes from the island of Pampus.
It looks like I'm the first visitor, but I think most other visitors entered their notes as "Muiden", because that's the name of the city at tickets you receive there.

The coordinates are 52.36469, 5.068946

For city manager: it belongs to the municipality Muiden

To get all the notes from the island into this profile, please split the notes with the following postcodes from the city profile of Muiden:
"1398 PX", "1398PX", "1398 ZH" and "1398ZH".
And also please the notes with the same postcodes and "1398" with entered citynames "Pampus" or 'Fort Pampus" (like this note).

I've entered some notes from the island of Pampus.

All the coordinates are in for Pampus. (no notes entered from 1398 ZH) I was not in title to merge the two profiles, some one else take care of that

On Saturday, I entered notes in the following locations :
Lincoln L0R1B0 : 43.18644, -79.476859
Cheektowaga, NY 14225 : 42.903889, -78.743889

Lincoln L0R1B0 : 43.18644, -79.476859
Cheektowaga, NY 14225 : 42.903889, -78.743889

I located the Canadian one, although the correct postal code is L0R 1B8 (with a space between the two parts) and the official city is Beamsville.
I did not locate the US one because the correct city name should be only Cheektowaga, instead of "Cheektowaga, NY". Please correct the note so that the database is clean and then I will gladly deal with it. (Feel free to correct the Canadian one too; I shouldn't have located it in fact.)
