When I zoom in on my own region in the GeoTree, I see that the capital of the province North-Brabant (NL) is listed wrongly (instead of Vught, it should be 's-Hertogenbosch).

Is there a Wiki way to fix this kind of errors? If not, what is the best way to correct them?

Hi Pierre,

sounds like this is exactly the same city but in another language :
http://www.geonames.org/2747351/s-hertogenbosch.html

May you check all alternate names ?

Thanks Christophe.
It seems that someone added the alternate name Vught in many languages. This is incorrect (Vught is a nearby, smaller town).
I fixed that, so the GeoTree now looks correct.

However, I still had trouble to indicate that 's-Hertogenbosch is the official (long) name, while Den Bosch is the short name. Whatever I tried with the checkboxes, it did not work . Any idea why?
