Poland - iNaturalist World Tour

We’re featuring on Poland on the World Tour today.

Here’s the GADM Level 1 and Level 2 places we’re using. Thoughts on these places?

Are there any issues with translation or common names?

What else can we do make iNaturalist better in Poland?

@loarie It seems that Olsztyn city data is imported from GADM database https://gadm.org/maps/POL/warmian-masurian/olsztyncity.html.
The administrative boundaries are incorrect or map is simplifying the shape too much.
Please compare the map:

Google Maps:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Olsztyn
OpenStreetMap:

Wikipage is also not available:
Olsztyn city - https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olsztyn
Autogenerated link https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olsztyn%20City,%20WN,%20PL doesn’t exist.
Olsztyn County - https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powiat_olsztyński
Autogenerated link https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olsztyn,%20WN,%20PL doesn’t exist.
How these can be fixed?

@loarie What is needed to make corrections?

Someone on staff might know more, but I think they’re encouraging people to reach out to GADM for corrections at the source.

Thank you. I have post it as a bug report, then it was joined to this stalled thread. How should I contact staff the proper way? Thanks for a piece of advice.

There is a contact form for GADM linked here: https://gadm.org/about.html

Thank you. I have sent bug report to GADM some time ago.
Was hoping that this thread is monitored by iNaturalist staff and corrections of places are possible (referring to question in the first post).
