Is anyone familiar with this area? Someone's mentioned on IRC that
Wickham Market has been changed from town to village and back a couple
of times:

Obviously it's been "town" more than village (and the person who added
it as such was/is pretty local) - but is that still correct? I'll
comment on the latest change about this thread so that everyone's aware
of it.
It has a parish council that has not chosen to style itself as a town
council. So, officially, it's a village.

It's also a bit small for a town. According to Wikipedia (which also
considers it a village) it has a population of just over 2,000. I
wouldn't normally consider that a town.

However, local usage may be different. The real question is whether OSM
has a policy of always following official usage or whether local usage
can take precedence.
