Hi Marc,

As you know we at ISIC (www.isic.org) have been actively using geonames data. While trying to get data from your system we found around 600+ location having a wrong type. Most of them should be cities or town but they are defined as regions. Would it be a problem for you to change that data? Until it's fixed we cannot really link either of our content to the wrongly defined ID's.

Here is this data: http://pastebin.com/cEvTMvpT

I am looking forward to hear from you.

Thank you very much in advance,
Michael

Hi Michael

I don't understand what you expect. I looked at the first two of them and they are both valid and correct US counties. What else should they be than ADM2?

Best Regards

Marc
