Rename locations

[Mallorca]

In the German list of locations we have some double name. Please change the name with the following adds:

1. Halle, is Halle/Westfalen
2. Halle is Halle a.d.Saale

1. Borken is Borken/NRW
2. Borken is Borken/Hessen

Thanks

Hi Werner,

The location names are from Geonames.org.
Only 1 of the locations can possibly be renamed.

2946228; Borken/North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany - Geonames.org is Borken - yr.no is Borken
2946230; Borken/Hesse/Germany - Geonames.org is Borken - yr.no is Borken

2911520; Halle/North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany - Geonames.org is Halle - yr.no is Halle
2911522; Halle/Saxony-Anhalt/Germany - Geonames.org is Halle (Saale) - yr.no is Halle

I will request 2911522; Halle/Saxony-Anhalt/Germany to be renamed.

Hi Marty,

I know that the names of locations in our list are from Geonames. Unfortunately the bad situation with double (or more) named location will increase in the future.

So up to now we have this locations double:
Auerbach
Babenhausen
Bergen
Frankenberg
Freiburg
Friedberg
Hain
Mohnheim
Münster
Roßdorf
Senden
and Langen 3 times.

In Germany you can find some locations with the same name more than 10 times!
So it is necessary to give this names an addition. I think we have similar situations in a lot of countries.
