Hi Paul, I was following your message until this statement, where I got confused. Are you saying the city of Langley is not a city? What do you mean by in British English? That's all fairly simple, but the place node is more complicated. Langley is not a city in British English, but a town.

Looking at the Township and City of Langley, I see that these relations are duplicate polygons that share the exact same nodes. Then why two relations? Instead, would it be better to simply use alt_name for the city, added to the Township of Langley.  Such Classification where you have two
