Spanish regions bug report

Fri, 26 Jun 2020 08:12:46 +0000

Hi,

Finally decided to report this... ;-)
Next time you're doing some DB maintenance, the table that contains the Spanish regions, ie; Asturias, Castilla & Leon, etc, there is an incorrect entry in the "regions" pull-down, presumably due to a cut/paste error.
"Antwerpen" appears as a region of Spain, visible in any page where you choose a country then a region. This appears once you've selected "Spain" as the country.
I'm not sure how languages are dealt with, but this appears in my Macbook which is set to English(UK).

thanks,
Rod (TeamRMRC)

Spain: bug in maps / geographical lists

Wed, 17 May 2017 14:09:55 +0000

There is a strange bug when it comes to Spanish provinces.

As second level geographical units in Spain PGC uses the Comunidades autónomas. As third level units the provinces.

Thus, there is a second level unit "Comunidad de Madrid", which is fine. However, this contains two third level units, namely "Comunidad de Madrid" and "Segovia". There is the bug. Firstly, the province of Segovia is part of the Comunidad autónoma de Castilla y León (and is also correctly enumerated there as well). It should, therefore, not appear as subunit of "Comunidad de Madrid". Secondly, the "Comunidad de Madrid" in reality contains only one third level unit = province, and this should be called simply "Madrid".

This problem is consistently present within PGC, whether it is geographical filtering or the maps in the statistics, which for "Comunidad de Madrid" also show next to the province of Madrid also the province of Segovia not belonging here.

Bug with Spanish regions (Balearic Islands)

Thu, 04 Aug 2016 13:48:44 +0000

In my Profile Stats it shows that I have finds in 3 regions of Spain:

Islas Baleares: 17

Andalucía: 9

Balearic Islands: 5

Actually it should be only 2 as 'Islas Baleares' and 'Balearic Islands' is the same.

You can also see this bug in the Map Regions tool. In the text area below the map it will show two entries for the Balearic region but on the map, if you hover the mouse cursor over this region, there is only 'Islas Baleares'.

In my opinion this might be a translation issue and it should be named only 'Islas Baleares' similar to 'Islas Canaris' (which is correctly listed only once btw).
