Standardize city names

Closed this issue 2 years ago · 3 comments

Currently, some cities exist under different spellings in the dataset e.g. Kiev and Kyïv or Cádiz and Cadiz. One needs to be picked. Possibly whichever one English Wikipedia uses. As a reminder to myself - the preferred spelling for the capital of Ukraine seems to be Kyiv.

Hi!

English Wikipedia is good example, but some languages have some problems. Best way is to have vocabulary with frequently used names of cities and base used in your dataset.

All cities should now have unique names.
