I don't think I can effectively armchair-map landuse in cities, but hamlets in densely populated areas clearly don't meet the wiki definition (and, I'd argue, are distinct on-the-ground situations; an isolated hamlet in a rural area is very different than an urban neighbourhood or subdivision). I'm leaning towards place=neighbourhood as being more correct than place=hamlet, although it clearly leaves room for improvement in the form of proper landuse polygons and local knowledge re: names.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 17, 2018 at 4:14 PM, Martin Koppenhoefer <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dieterdreist@gmail.com" target="_blank">dieterdreist@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">can you post some examples?<br>
