Hey @Joxit, my French is terrible, what's your take on this? I've never heard of `lez` in place of `les` but we can just add an alt name in WOF...

We got a response from https://github.com/whosonfirst-data/whosonfirst-data-admin-fr/issues/59, Stephen noted that the 'lez' form is already present in the data under `name:fra_x_variant`: The issue now is that we [disabled importing the `variant`...

Again I'm not familiar with `les lez`, is that a commonly accepted convention in some French villages? From my very limited understanding, the `lez` spelling is from Old French and...

I think this would be a good candidate for [Fuzzy Autocomplete](https://github.com/pelias/api/pull/1268). Importing [variant names](https://github.com/pelias/whosonfirst/pull/529) seems to be a bad idea for reasons mentioned in that issue. I don't see any...

Hey @Joxit 👋 Yeah interesting, I had similar thoughts in the past when thinking about geoip. The coordinates returned by a geoip service are often unreliable and I was considering...

This is the `dependency` (equivalent to country) https://spelunker.whosonfirst.org/id/85632199/

@barberooge actually this looks fine to me, we have the `dependency` correctly set to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Barth%C3%A9lemy which is an overseas collectivity of France. So while it belongs to the French empire...

Yeah I think it's an interesting idea. I'm a little concerned that providing too many tunable values to the end user will result in variable performance, result quality and poor...
