>From what I've seen I would recommend to crosscheck with enough radius for every single entry of geonames with existing place= with name (the are some areas where a lot of placenames are present already) in order not to duplicate place/names and preventing deleting work of previous contributors when cleaning up. And please crosscheck with Bing. A lot of geonames are obviously 300-600m off, but there are not too few that are 1200-1800m off, some even 3km off. Thanks.
