May 11, 2017 at 10:40 comment added AndyW I broadly agree with this, but there may be ambiguity problems with only a provincial name - e.g. Northumberland is a county in both England and Australia. (One could use an additional country tag for disambiguation, or some parallel set of tags for similarly-named places. Both approaches, though, are messy - overloaded tags versus too many tags).
May 8, 2017 at 20:02 comment added PolyGeo Mod I would agree so I think your answer and mine distill to the same thing.
May 8, 2017 at 13:22 comment added Harry V. Mod @PolyGeo That's a special case. The usefulness of such tags ought to be determined on a case-by-case basis. Generally I would say avoid city tags unless there is a compelling argument for their use.
May 8, 2017 at 7:55 comment added PolyGeo Mod What would you do with the new-york-city tag which is neither a country or county/state/province?
