Can I just add that it is also best to document the relation numbers of boundaries somewhere fairly obvious on the wiki, to try and prevent duplicate relations appearing for the same boundary. So for example, all the Essex districts have their relations documented on the Essex wiki page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Essex Then the Tendring district of Essex has all the parish relations documented on the Tendring district page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tendring(Essex_District) (These were based on a lot of NPE tracing, by the way, along with a lot of research for where new unitary authorities split away from the ceremonial county). Perhaps hidden further away than that are the pages showing the Haiti department, arrondisement, commune and section relations (a page per department, with an intro page here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/Status/Boundari es ) I must admit in the last couple of days I've created a boundary for Effingham County, GA (while deduplicating nodes there, as almost every boundary in the USA seems to be) that I haven't yet documented. I suspect that it will end up with a GA state page with each county relation listed, with similar pages for any state other people work on (if there aren't already - I've not looked yet). Not only does it help show which have already been done if more than once person has been working on them, the various templates available give links to browse the boundary, validate in an analyser tool or whatever which makes checking they are closed an easier task.
