In case it was also a contributory factor, the two Essex boundary
relations (administrative and ceremonial) weren't closed - I've just
joined the ends together so they should be OK now. This might also
fix Cambridgeshire but I haven't checked those relations with the
relation analyser.

I have not deleted the Essex county node:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/26450045
as I wasn't sure whether the gns information was something that
first needed moving to one or both of the Essex relations.

It has been discussed and agreed on this list before that these nodes can be
junked now that we have county boundaries as polygons.  So please go ahead.

[Talk-GB] Essex appearing in various London address nominatim results

2011-05-30 Thread Martin - CycleStreets



Essex seems to be coming up in lots of place searches in the London area in 
Nominatim - we've just had a bug report about it. This problem seems to 
have started a few weeks ago, I think. However, I'm not confident enough 
with data editing to fix this - could someone take a look?

Shaun has said to me:

http://open.mapquestapi.com/nominatim/v1/search.php?q=greenwich,+london 
and click details which gives: 
http://open.mapquestapi.com/nominatim/v1/details.php?place_id=151927

You will see that the node:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/26450045
is mentioned in bold, which means that it is taken into account and used.

I think there will be a polygon for Essex, thus the above node can simply 
be deleted. This is the case in a lot of similar cases, as more exact 
data is now available."


but this sounds a bit scary to me, especially as the Essex node seems to be 
quite well-established. I can't see how it is affecting Greenwich, and I 
can't see that "London" is being included for Greenwich.


Would someone kindly be able to have a look at this?
