welcome to OSM. Please feel free to improve our data, while adding
the neighbourhoods as a first project is going to result in a fairly
steep learning curve for you, it is certainly doable.<br>
<br>
Unluckily the map used in Wikipedia is unlikely to be usable
directly in OSM for licence reasons, however you could either refer
to the PD maps that were used in creating it or simply ask the
original author for permission to include the information in OSM.<br>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I really love your site, but wanted to help with some updates.
Some of the neighborhood data for NYC is inaccurate. For
example, <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://nominatim">http://nominatim</a>.
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://openstreetmap.org/reverse">openstreetmap.org/reverse</a>?
osm_type=N&osm_id=2184804432 is not in the Diamond District
nor Chelsea - it's in Midtown East. Also <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse">http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse</a>?
osm_type=N&osm_id=2184803604 is not in Chatham Towers nor
Greenwich Village - it's in Soho.</p>
<p>If you want a benchmark source for creating admin boundaries, I
feel this wikipedia link is very accurate with determining
borders of neighborhood: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_</a>
Manhattan_neighborhoods (the image displayed in 'Full
resolution' is useful), but the wiki provides excessive
sub-neighborhood detail impractical to the way most New Yorkers
think. I feel this site has a good concept of practical
neighborhood breakdowns: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www">http://www</a>. <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://nyctourist.com/map1.htm">nyctourist.com/map1.htm</a>,
maybe this with the borders defined on wikipedia can serve as a
reference guide.</p>
<p>I know neighborhood distinctions can be a very subjective
issue, but the current info on openstreetmaps is materially
inaccurate. I love the concept of your site and want to
contribute.</p>
<p>Please let me know if I can assist any further.</p>
<p>Regards,<br>
Kushal</p>
