If you can find some source for a population number you put it in a population= tag. If you make an estimate about a population size then you can put it in a est_population= tag like we do with other things like estimated road widths. Like so many other people have told you: Population size is only a part of what makes a place important. -- m.v.g., Cartinus _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
