Please, change the default name of the Russian city Yekaterinburg to Ekaterinburg.
It is hard to find the city in alphabetical list, since most Russians look this city by the first letter "E", not "Y".

Yekaterinburg geonames-id: 1486209

Thank you for the wonderful service.
Our project - YoWindow would look poor without geonames support.

I think Yekaterinburg is the common English name for the city and it is therefore correct as the main name.
If you need the Russian name you have to use the name from the alternate name table.
