The alternate names list for La Lomota in the Santiago province of the Dominican Republic looks odd. It looks like a description of it as "La Lomota, Santiago" accidentally got broken up into alternate names of "La Lomota" and "Santiago".

Unfortunately, I have never been anywhere near the Dominican Republic, so I do not know for certain that "Santiago" is not a legitimate alternate name for La Lomota. Can someone who knows whether this is legitimate or not let me know and delete the extra name if it is not?

This is causing my code confusion because it doesn't know whether Santiago, DO refers to Santiago de los Caballeros or La Lomota.

Thanks!

Thanks, I guess you are right and I have deleted the alternate name.
