Got it. 'Suburb' is also plausible - there are a fair number of people there who commute to New York City from Peekskill - but 'village' probably fits the definition on the Wiki better. > 2) The rendering of labels for places varies.

The only zoom level on Humanitarian where I see Fort Montgomery labeled is zoom level 13, and there I still see the incorrect boundaries for the military reservation and the park that triggered this whole exercise. (Zoom levels 12 and 14 have good boundaries, but no label on Ft Montgomery.) I see the label on the transport map,. but the park boundaries are even farther out of date - it looks as if that hasn't been re-rendered in weeks - it's missing the oblong parcel of Bear Mountain State Park north of the village. You're right that Open Cycle Map is showing the name. In any case, I wasn't looking to tag for the renderer, merely taking the changed rendering as a warning that I might have mistagged. In fact, for my own use, I don't ordinarily use any of the OSM renderings, but something more like https://kbk.is-a-geek.net/catskills/test3.html?la=41.3340&lo=-73.9785&z=15 (And I recently came to realize that I'm rendering place names only for points, and wondering whether I should fix that.)
