Neither here nor there: places with multiple parents
The fact that on 43places places cannot have multiple parents (though they are both in this and that, part of this and part of the other…) is a big problem which causes many places to be, um, misplaced.
Sometimes they are actually entered multiple times (a problem, because it’s only one thing, not more), at other times, they’re in one place but not at the right level to acknowledge the fact that one place "spans" multiple others. Yes, geography is messy – it’s not a neat hierarchy like some database designers would like it to be. :)
I thought to gather them in this list to hopefully make the scale of the problem more clear. Or just provide another way at looking geography…
Feel free to add whatever places you come across that really have multiple parents even when that’s not reflected in 43places—yet!
