				<title>Deletion of fictional places</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I'd like to know how to request the removal of a fictional place from the database.

Recently someone has inserted the non-existent place 'Headwood Bolevad' into the Geonames database for the UK and it has been picked up widely round the net. 

How do I know it's fictional? Because apparently I now live there - part of a community of 2589 people whose town centre is actually the middle of a golf course. Nevertheless it is now the location displayed by the weather widget on the home page of my phone.

I would like to move back to the town of Watford, where I used to live, but don't know how.

Cheers,
Argel]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Thanks Marc but unless I'm very much mistaken the name is entirely fictional. The golf course in question belongs to the Grove Hotel - it is an inernational golfing venue, always known as 'The Grove' and is certainly not called 'headwood Bolevad'. headwood Bolevad just isn't an English place name of any kind as far as I can see.
