Adding suburbs

Hi,

Is there an official way of suggesting new places to be added?

If not, can I suggest a few suburbs to be added to Manchester (WOEID 10180)?

* Northern Quarter
* Spinningfields
* Petersfield
* The [Gay] Village

These are all well-used by locals, and referred to on official tourism maps (eg see http://www.visitmanchester.com/maps.aspx). Some of them are quite small, but then so is Chinatown (WOEID 20094373), which is really just a single street.

  • We currently don't have a tool for users to submit information about missing or new places, but we are looking into providing such a tool. Until then, feel free to add them to this topic, and we will include as many as possible to our next release of GeoPlanet. Providing a link to source material helps us to determine the boundaries and relationships for places.

    Great that you're planning on adding a tool to enable this.

    It'd be great if the suburbs I mentioned above could be added - I'll have a think about any others that are missing (and sources for them).

  • Looks like I got the wrong WOEID for Manchester btw. I think it's 28218.
