Hey guys!

Just a minor issue I stumbled upon when trying to update the town of Victoria, Malta.

There are two separately governed municipalities (divisions) named Rabat in Malta: Rabat, Malta and Rabat (also known as Victoria) on the island of Gozo. The latter is not present when choosing a division when updating.

Could this be added?

Thanks in advance!

It was called Ir-Rabat:

I have now added Victoria as the preferred name in English.

Yes, I know it was called Ir-Rabat. What I was saying that there are 2 admin divisions called Rabat in Malta.

The one you renamed to Victoria, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria,_Gozo, ISO code: MT45

And the 2nd one which is still missing on the list. Rabat Malta, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabat,_Malta, ISO code: MT46

They aren't the same municipality and only the first one is available as a choice

Thank you for fixing this! Now could someone please move the city of Rabat http://www.geonames.org/maps/google_35.874_14.394.html to Ir-Rabat (45)? I tried correcting it, but it doesn't update...

Thanks!

Yup, thank you, marc!

One last thing:

Could you please move this
5 P Rabat
Ir-Rabat,Ir-Rabt,Rabat,Rabato,Рабат Malta, Victoria populated place
population 7,064 N 35° 52' 27'' E 14° 23' 38''

from Victoria to Ir-Rabat and mark it as Seat of First Order Administrative Division?

It seems to have some bug in it, as I've tried to move it at least 80 times and it doesn't work. I change Victoria (46) to Ir-Rabat (45), it says Changes Saved and when I refresh, it's still in Victoria.

Thanks for everything, really appreciated
