Hi.

I was trying to amend a city in the Malaysian state of Sarawak that had been incorrectly labelled as a second-order administrative divison. However despite me attempting to amend it i was received with the error message titled: "your user level is not sufficient for this update." Could any of the admins help to amend this issue for me? My username is the same as my forum username. Thank you

Hi Marc,

there is a dublicated settlement in Hungary (Dorog - 3053562 and Dorog - 3053563). The one with 3053563 id is a redundant duplication and I don't have the permission to delete it, can you help me with this?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I have deleted it. I don't think it is necessarily a duplicate, it is probably referring to some other, smaller place with the same name. As I don't see where this could be I have deleted it.

Hi Marc,

Could you please delete the alternate names of Zugló (id: 3042430)?

This is the only district in Budapest which has alternate names, and it causes some trouble in our system. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

We are using the country boundaries from file shapes_all_low.zip, and put them in a mongodb as geojson MultiPolygon.

For several countries we get errors from mongodb stating the geojson is invalid. An example is 3042142 'Jersey' where the error is:
Loop is not valid: [ [ -2.123, 49.171 ], [ -2.127, 49.175 ], [ -2.124, 49.179 ], [ -2.126, 49.174 ], [ -2.123, 49.171 ] ] Edges 0 and 2 cross.

Is there a way for us to submit fixes for this?

Thanks, Willem

Hi,

I noticed Taitung city (1668295) is missing a population, this is in spite of the wikipedia article linked stating that it has a population of 103,260. It cannot be edited as I do not have the necessary permissions.

Similarly for Jiayi Shi (1678836), I believe Chiayi is the recognised English name (rather than the Simplified Chinese transliteration), and I am again unable to edit the name or the population. It should have a population of 263,188, as per their local data and per on wikipedia.

Thanks.
