Mexico locations (Ciudad Juárez in wrong state, Mexico City with wrong airport name)
Last modified: 2017-12-12 13:47:22 UTC
First, Ciudad Juárez: The entry in Locations.xml.in for Ciudad Juárez in Mexico is listed under the wrong state. Ciudad Juárez is incorrectly listed under the state of México in Mexico; it should properly be listed under the state of Chihuahua in Mexico. Therefore, the following block needs to be moved from inside the block for the state of México in Mexico to the block for the state of Chihuahua in Mexico, and the comment needs to be changed from "A city in México in Mexico" to "A city in Chihuahua in Mexico": <city> <!-- A city in México in Mexico. One of several cities in Mexico called "Juárez". --> <_name>Ciudad Juárez</_name> <coordinates>31.733333 -106.483333</coordinates> <location> <name>Ciudad Juárez International Airport</name> <code>MMCS</code> <coordinates>31.633333 -106.433333</coordinates> </location> </city> The rest of the data seems to be pretty much OK. The coordinates for the city and the airport are fine, as is the airport code. The name of the airport should perhaps be changed to "Abraham González International Airport", since that is its official name, but it is often referred to by the current name in the database, "Ciudad Juárez International Airport". So, I guess that would be a judgement call. But it's definitely listed under the wrong state. Secondly, Mexico City: The airport for Mexico City is listed as "Licenci Airport", which is incorrect. The correct name of the airport is either "Benito Juárez International Airport" or "Mexico City International Airport". The incorrect "Licenci Airport" may have come about as a truncation of "Licenciado Benito Juárez International Airport", where Juárez's name is given with his title, "Licenciado". Adding the title "Licenciado" is sometimes done in the name of the airport, but it is extremely formal, and leaving it out is more common. So, "Licenci Airport" is very wrong; "Benito Juárez International Airport" or "Mexico City International Airport" should be used instead.

Done. I pretty much copy/pasted your explanation for the commit message, so thanks :)
