[Talk-us] ok to create a new relation?

I just wanted to check with the list on this. I think it makes sense to
do this, but I would like to know if I am wrong or if there are
concerns.

I am looking at 2 ways:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/33075997

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/107712882

Together they seem to delineate the city of Chino Hills, CA, which is a
small city and not the same as Chino, CA. And I am seeing no relation
for Chino Hills.

Am I right in thinking that it would be correct to create a relation to
contain these two ways to define the city boundaries?

I am then thinking that I can remove these tags from the two ways and
put the union of the values (only one way has a "name:de", for example)
on the relation only:

    admin_level, border_type, boundary, is_in, is_in:*, name, name:*,
    place, and wikipedia

Yes?

I think I should leave all the tiger:* tags attached to the two ways.

Yes?

Any other suggestions?

Just FYI, these are the cities that I have found in California that do
not seem to have a relation that defines them and that seem to have
more than one way attached to the name of the city. I will probably be
looking at the others on this list later.

	Chino Hills
	Arcadia
	Diamond Bar
	Cypress
	San Dimas
	Seal Beach
	La Palma
	California City
	San Marino
	Sierra Madre
