Dear sirs:

Why the point with geoname id 8354558 has America/New_York timezone id?


8354558 Pappu Pappu 48.71996 2.39502 H LK FR A8 91 913 91027 0 85 America/New_York 2012-07-31

But when we query the exact location for timezone it says France/Paris?


http://api.geonames.org/timezone?lat=47.01&lng=10.2&username=demo


Best regards

Thanks for reporting.
The person that has created the entry has added the timezone. The same person has also added other nonsense entry. I have deleted all features added by this person and blocked the account.

Thank you Marc.

You mean the geonames database is open source and people can contribute to it?

Best regards
