Here's how it sort of worked in the UK. A city has a cathedral. Or a royal charter. Or is a big town that feels like calling itself a city.
A town has a weekly (or more frequent) market. Or used to have a market. No cathedral. A village has one or more churches. Or used to, before they closed due to lack of worshippers. No cathedral, no market. A hamlet doesn't even have a church, let alone a market or cathedral. Yes, there are exceptions. :) -- Paul On Mon, Jun 4, 2018 at 9:23 PM, Paul Johnson <ba...@ursamundi.org> wrote: > On Mon, Jun 4, 2018 at 3:06 PM, santamariense <imagens...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> >> The question is: Is Nominatin wrong or are we mapping a thing that >> there not be in Brazil and a best tag should be applied?
