Hi,
some Australian places have changed from cities to towns on;
changeset was: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/14217241

I've emailed to the editor to ask the source for the change as I believe
some are now incorrect.

I really do think Gympie, Maryborough, Warwick and Charters Towers are
cities, and should have remained tagged as such.  Are there others, in
other states, within this changeset that should have stayed as is?

Wikipedia is not the best reference material I know, but they have the Qld
ones I mentioned as cities:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_Australia

Additionally, I think some of the others should to be tagged cities, even
if not officially, under the Aus tagging guidelines at:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#City.2C_Town_or_Village.3F

So looking at the tagging guidelines, haven't we agreed to tag by
population size or significance in remote areas?
Here is a populated list of places by population for Qld that could be
useful any discussion:

Cheers,
