http://ws.geonames.org/search?q=Naschel&maxRows=10&style=full shows:

<timezone dstOffset="0.0" gmtOffset="0.0"/>

has a blank timezone - I thought this was set automatically on import?

actually, its probably because its location was completely wrong.

I've moved it but the webservice still doesn't show a timezone.

You might like to check the other data you got in the same batch.

I have set the timezone for the place. It will be in the next dump. The service will return it when I update the index on the servers the next time (in some days).

The move was missing the functionality to automatically change the timezone. Normally moves are only for a short distance in the same timezone. I will add this feature to the move.

Best
