Hello,

I've been using the web service and have spotted some incorrect data. I'm not sure if this is something that I can correct myself through the wiki?

When using findNearbyPostalCodes on the location 51.52514306, -0.1159368 I get the following result which shows it to be in Suffolk, UK:

Code:
<geonames>
  <code>
   <postalcode>IP18</postalcode> 
   <name>Mount Pleasant</name> 
   <countryCode>GB</countryCode> 
   <lat>51.5236176696359</lat> 
   <lng>-0.112245082855225</lng> 
   <adminCode1 /> 
   <adminName1 /> 
   <adminCode2>SFK</adminCode2> 
   <adminName2>Suffolk</adminName2> 
   <adminCode3 /> 
   <adminName3 /> 
   <distance>0.3065819358894617</distance> 
  </code>
 </geonames>


In fact, this location is Mount Pleasant in Camden, London (I think the post code should be WC1).

Thanks

Thanks Kevin. I will correct it. The postal codes cannot be updated with the wiki.

Best

Marc
