Mapnik doesn't render the areas properly, so they're not part of the problem here: http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/3226 > > 1.

What do I do to make Lititz show up at the same level as Manheim? place=borough (and if necessary file a trac ticket to render boroughs as somewhere between towns and cities) > 3. What do I do to downgrade West Lampeter and Warwick to an appropriate > level? place=township The GNIS import of place names used a population-based classification (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place), but they also have a population=* value, so this is redundant and doesn't reflect reality. Look at Florida for an example of incorporated places tagged with their actual forms of government. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
