				<title>Problem adding areas</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ We are trying to add Jukskei Park with geoname id :7289436 to our system

But your system is saying that it is:

  <Feature rdf:about="http://sws.geonames.org/7289436/">
<name>Tabernakelkerk</name>

Could you please tell us when will this be fixed.  It is not the first time that it happens and we are having the same issue with other areas too

				<description><![CDATA[ I have copied the db to the sws server and made some changes to improve the sync mechanism. It will now sync the ids with an additional separate process and a check makes sure the ids are not different, so it will not insert it if the ids on the different server are out of sync.

				<description><![CDATA[ Thank you now I have two issues:

1. When we add ID 7289407 Naoussa, Greece, the system says I have to add the parent ID 6255148 which is Europe.
When we add ID 7289301 Fish Hoek, South Africa, the system says I have to add the parent ID 6255146 which is Africa.
The same error adding 7289434 Pilanesberg Game Reserve, South Africa.

We can fix the parents manually, but is there a way for you to do it for all the ones that have this issue?

2.  I'm adding GeoName ID: 2647567 (Hammersmith) to our database and it's showing alternative name:  "Hammersmith tube station"  as the default. This is because the wikipedia link is wrong.  How can we fix it?]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ 1. I don't understand this issue. Which system is asking you to add a parentid? GeoNames automatically assigns the country code and the continent is a consequence of the country.

2. I will delete the wrong wikipedia link.

				<description><![CDATA[ Hi Marc, 

1. our system.  But that is not the real problem the thing is that there are a bunch of areas that don't have the right parent.  Speacially in south africa the parent is Africa the continent and we were wondering if there is a way for you to fix this issue.

2. another one

http://www.geonames.org/254425/rafina.html is right here but when we pull the info from the webservice we get Triglia ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ 1. I still don't understand what I can do to fix issues with your system.

2. should be fixed now.


An other point: I see you are adding a lot of redundant names. (ex "La Colle sur Loup" for "La Colle-sur-Loup". This is neither required nor desired. The geonames search function is able to deal with 'minus' and characters and the likes.
