Checked with the Wikipedia for correctness.

No "PPLC" entry for Saipan.

Hope That Helps.

				<description><![CDATA[ Hi Robert

Saipan seems to be name of the Island or admin division: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saipan

So we cannot change it to 'city', what actually is the meaning of PPLC.

If you care about the information that sometimes it is referred to as capital we would need another way of modeling this.

Best

I was more like looking for an <b>additional entry</b> with a "PPLC" so it would show when I queried in the database for all "PPLC"s for all countries.

I went and matched my list of world capitals against the GEONAME and I am now proceeding with the GNA and USGS. I am working in adding all the cross references ID's to my database.

That is why you got so many entries about capitals.

Hope This Helps,

				<description><![CDATA[ Hi Robert

Adding a PPLC entry would mean there is a city when there is none. I think for these special cases it is easier to handle them separately as you already did. It would be too confusing to use the 'normal' way of dealing with them.
