Hi, first of all: thanks for this great service!

After going over the dutch (NL) administrative divisions, I found some incorrect values.

It looks like some counties (ADM2 level) have their geonameid in the admin2_code field. This means that the cities within this ADM2 zone have an admin2_code which does not work anymore.

It's only 20 ADM2 entries, so it was easy enough to fix. Nevertheless, I guess this should be fixed on your end as well. Do you need any more input?

Thanks. Will be fixed.

Marc

Thanks Marc!

Another fix/addition:

Currently the city "Kapelle" (2753070) is located beneath ADM2 for county "Schouwen-Duiveland" (6544251).

According to Wikipedia, there used to be a city named "Capelle" at the provided coordinates, but it no longer exists. "Capelle" is listed as one of the alternate names.

However (the addition...) there is a city called "Kapelle" (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapelle), which is should be located beneath ADM2 for "Gemeente Kapelle" (2753069).

I've added the city of Kapelle under id 7284469. It's the first time I've added something to geonames, so could be that I've screwed up.

-- Also:

After adding the correct Kapelle, and selecting an ADM2, it says

"Netherlands > Zeeland > Kapelle"

in the popup, whereas for other places in the area it says

"Netherlands > Zeeland > NL.10.0678"

Maybe this is the exact same problem I reported in the first place (incorrect ADM2 values)?

It was the same problem. The cache has not yet been updated with the changes in the adm2 codes.
