Incorrect dots and inaccuracies among city profiles

[Nick6502]

Rome is a little village that is part of Durbuy.
I entered the first notes tonight and had a hit at once.
Unfortunately EBT thinks I was in the Italian capital.

Have you gone to "La Petite Merveille", Nick6502 ?

No, I had to do a delivery with a client of mine. It was in the street 'Thier de Rome', just next to 'La Petite Merveille'.

I got two €5 notes in this beach cafe: http://hethalvemaentje.nl/

Their address:
Strandpaviljoen Het halve Maentje
Nieuwesluisweg 44
4511 RE Breskens

Their GPS location: 51°24'19.1"N 3°32'11.4"E (51.405291, 3.536513)

They're being incorrectly dotted below the correct position.
Thank you

4511 RE Breskens

Fixed.

Maybe you want to change the postal codes of notes you got in The Netherlands, though: the official format of "postcodes" has no blank space (I don't know if spaces are an official alternative but I guess not). This one should be 4511RE.

If you do this change please alert here again, because 4511RE will need to get manually geolocated to the coords I used for 4511 RE (51.4048, 3.5372). (Deleted after groentje alerted to the fact that NL postal codes have indeed a space.)

[groentje]

According to PostNL, there is a space between the numbers and the letters of the postal code, and two between the postal code and the city name.

Thanks, groentje! I was misled to believe that postcode.nl was the official site.

SUp3rFM, please ignore my previous post.

Truth be told, It's not really obvious, even on PostNL's site. Especially if you look up a postal code, I can't really distinguish a space or not...

At this moment I'm doing a combined holiday trip & dothunt in the Peloponnesos in Greece. There are still a few blanks. Cities without a dot I will check after I return home to give the plotters their time to enter them in the system (and this works fine so far, thanks for that ). But a few blanks are caused by misplaced cities:

Paralia Zaraka (also known as Paralia Kyparissiou). I changed the name after some "investigation", because Paralia is a too common name.

This one looks to be one dot up from where it belongs (it should be in the same dot as Zakynthos town)

Please recheck at least this one. Paralia Zarakon (Παραλία Ζαράκων), near Zarakes (Ζάρακες), is not the same as Paralia Kyparissiou (Παραλία Κυπαρισσίου), near Kyparissi (Κυπαρίσσι). Paralia (Παραλία) means simply "beach", and that's why there are so many Paralias.

Although this beach lies within the administrative unit of Zarakas (Ζάρακας), there are very few mentions of a supposed "Παραλια Ζάρακα".

In view of the above, I would choose the name Paralia Kyparissiou (Παραλία Κυπαρισσίου) to designate your beach, definitely not Paralia Zaraka (Παραλια Ζάρακα).

As Dutch City manager, I give all the new postcodes from The Netherlands a dot based on combination Postcode / Place given in Google map.
for Breskens (4511 RE) should that give coordinates 51.40427, 3.54284
In this case someone entered already a note in 26-9-2006 withe Breskens (4511 RE) But it is fixed by Inviterbo

In this case I think it's best to stick to Zaraka or Zarakas (maybe using brackets) as it the name of the municipal unit. Zarakas is a former municipality, now it's a municipal unit in the municipality of Monemvasia. The adjective Kyparissiou can be used for at least 10 different places. MapQuest even mentions Kyparissi Zaraka (and my car navigation system says Kyparissi (Zarakas) and "at the ground" I recall seeing a sign mentioning Paralia Zaraka(s) which is the main reason why I choose for Zaraka. Back there I ignored it because all the places suitable for obtaining notes mentioned on google maps were still closed in March. It was only on my way back from the village of Mitropoli that I discovered there was a supermarket (as far as I know the only way to get this dot in March).

The problem in Greece is that names are written different all the time. On my map of Greece (Michelin) and Greek map of the Peloponnesos most names are different. And when you look at the village signs, they often show a third variation (or a completely different name).
Anyway, if someone likes a winding road with steep cliffs, I can recommend a trip to Kyparissi/Paralia/Mitropoli. But watch for sheep and goats, there are lots of them eating on the roadside (or just just sleeping on the road).

I don't know exactly how Greek cities are dealt with within EBT. I suspect they follow the general EBT rule where "city" means in fact "populated space" (including cities, towns and hamlets). There are exceptions: countries where "city" is equivalent to municipality for EBT purposes.

Anyway, in this particular case, the Zarakas municipal unit (Δήμος Ζάρακα) is around 237 km², which is comparable to Marseille or Frankfurt in area — but with less than 1,400 people.

Within that municipal unit, there are several undoubtedly separate populated places, for example Kyparissi, Mitropoli, Ierakas, Pistamata, etc. One of them is Paralia Kyparissiou (Παραλία Κυπαρισσίου). Again, I don't know exactly what constitutes a "city" according to the Greek EBT rules, but I suspect it is not municipal units.

Have a little look again to the dots. I hope it is better.
I renamed also the other 'Paralia' in EBT
