Hi Christoph:

Thanks for sharing.

I've tested quite many nodes against imagery, and most of the nodes
that end with "Village" are actually hamlets, and even some (few) just
an isolated_dwelling. I will add to the proposal that, any name that
ends with Village or Town to be added a short_name tag that contains
the name without the Village or Town ending. Again, comments about
this are welcome.

Changing the place value is really fast (+/- 5 seconds).

I find the place=unknown a good idea, specially for those nodes that
can't be checked against a hires imagery. During my tests, I was
already adding a fixme tag for these cases, that I will incorporate to
the wiki.

There are, by the way, some nodes ending with "Refugee Camp" that
could be good to be pre-processed, adding to them the tag refugee=yes

There are some other issues that I will comment tomorrow. It's too
late already and I am done for today.

Cheers,

Rafael.
