Hi,

We have been informed by our business users an admin1 location is missing for Country Zambia. Geonameid 905460 for location Muchinga should be appearing as an Admin 1 location and it does not. We use the admin 1 locations to identify our project locations. We would greatly appreciate if this change could be completed as soon as possible.

Thanks, Jeff

I am following up with this request to see if someone could look into this as soon as possible. We have a new Zambia project going for Board Approval in a week and the Project Team needs to have this admin 1 location included in the data. Since this does not exist in the Geonames.org data we cannot display it to our users for selection.

You can validate that Muchinga is a new admin 1 region in Zambia pretty easily if this is necessary.

Thanks and awaiting a response urgently.

Hi,

Could someone please respond to this request? The Muchinga province was created in 2011 yet has not been updated as an Admin1 location in Geonames.org. We are trying to map project locations to this province and cannot because it does not exist in the data. If you need more reference information I have included wikipedia link for reference.
