GeoNames Forum

Would it be possible to upgrade my account?
I've noticed some lack of detail in many African geographical features.

For example Lake Chad (Id 2346202) is listed under Nigeria, but the pinpoint is actually in Chad. Moreover, I would prefer it to be listed in the correct state (Borno if it should stay in Nigeria, Lac if it is possible to move it to Chad). It would also be useful to list the other countries of which it part in the "part of" hierarchy.

We are currently working on an environmental history global portal and using Geonames to georeference the places listed in our entries. I would thus be very useful for us to be able to increase the detail for places beyond Europe and the US.
