ok, I got a question tagging admin area / populated centers / labels in USA seems to come down to two main tags:
admin_level and place http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Admin_level#10_admin_level_values_for_specific_countries plus http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Place I've ran into a problem recently fixing up my area, where either the TIGER import, or inexperienced contributors have/are mis-tagging townships as being, in some way, more important / more visible than Cities or Towns. Before I go further, If you aren't sure exactly what a Township is in the US, please read this first: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Township_%28United_States%29 In rural PA (Lancaster) I am specifically dealing with a buttload of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Township_%28United_States%29#Civil_townships >From personal experience, the best I can equate them to is neighbourhoods or in-town areas in england. West Lampeter is to Lancaster as Tarpots is 918 years ago) to South Benfleet, or the Sea-front in Southend. The problem is that currently we dont have a discrete tag for place=township and all admin_level= are =8 so, half a question, half a statement of intent, unless someone argues me down from the ledge... I'm going to start using place=suburb for townships as the closest comparison I can find http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dsuburb thx Ant
