[Talk-us] GNIS tag removal proposal

2013-08-20 Thread Serge Wroclawski
Hi all, I've been looking at the GNIS data and it's quite a mess. As a step towards cleaning up the mess, I'd like to discuss removing some extranious gnis tags in the editors (just as we do with TIGER and other tags). I would like to suggest that the editors remove the following tags entirely:
