General -> Webservice is DOWN -> Go to message
The faulty disk was replaced but the server continues to switch into read-only mode after a couple of minutes under load.
I fear some more hardware needs to be replaced and the server needs to be setup from scratch. This will take around 2 days.

you find the geonameid for the admin regions over their admincode.

General -> Administrative divisions in italy -> Go to message
PPLs are populated places (in fact they should be changed to PPLA3) and ADM3 are admin divisions. There is a listing for each of these two concepts.

Christer: the service does not distinguish between northern and southern hemisphere.

DataZombies: there are no plans to add anything more to the services regarding zoneinfo. This would be outside of the scope of this project.

the service is down due to a disk crash. It will take some hours to exchange the disk.

There is a problem with the download server. It crashed twice today when trying to import the database dump from the www server. I had to disable the dump till we have fixed the hardware issue. I suspect a disk issue.

Postal Codes -> USA ZIP Codes -> Go to message
Hi

I cross checked on the usps website and could not find these changes. The cities are listed with the 852xx zip codes instead of the 851xx :
http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/citytown.jsp

(for instance Mesa, AZ with 8520x)

Are you living in the area and can you confirm that the change really took place?

Postal Codes -> How often is Postal Code data updated (Spain)? -> Go to message
Once per month will be sufficient. You could subscribe to the 'postal code' category in this forum to stay informed about bigger updates. Corrections of a couple of codes are usually not announced.

Postal Codes -> How often is Postal Code data updated (Spain)? -> Go to message
It is not regularly updated, it is updated if we know of changes.

Administrative Divisions -> Hong Kong & China -> Go to message
Because it has its' own ISO country code. There are also other dependent countries with their own country code.

Administrative Divisions -> Swiss new Vaud district -> Go to message
Hi Julien

I have updated the Swiss adm division adm2,adm3 with the 2009 data as I couldn't find a national dataset with the 2010 data:

thanks, it has been fixed.

Administrative Divisions -> Lao admin1 -> Go to message
I have deleted the entry.

It takes time for the admin divisions as it requires a systematic approach.
We are working on reorganizing the admin division, first by comparing different sources (fips,iso) and fixing the inconsistencies: http://dev.geonames.org/qa/cc.html

The province in Laos still has fips and iso codes. We have added two new columns to the subdivs to manage 'from' and 'to' dates:

General -> Changing admin1 for some cities in Spain -> Go to message
gabriela

The problem with Ceuta and Melilla is that they have a very strange status. They are not really adm1 like the other autonomous regions and they don't have a proper adm1 code in none of the coding systems (neither iso, nor fips). The spanish INE assigns a code like it does for the municipios. From this point of view it would be adm3.

Administrative Divisions -> Incorrect admin2_code for dutch counties (ADM2)? -> Go to message
It was the same problem. The cache has not yet been updated with the changes in the adm2 codes.

Marc
General -> Geonames weather returning nothing -> Go to message
there was a problem with the service for some hours and it did not return observations for most locations. We are investigating the source of the problem.
