Yes write in for location, name and surname optional... - basically no personal information if a person does not wish to give it.

I agree. Just make it free-text. As for its mandatory-ness... I personally don't have any troubles revealing the city I live in, but it should be optional for the sake of others (you can pick a random city if it bothers you for the moment, though  ).
I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and had to pick that obscure Svalbard and Jan Mayen place (I think NATO has an airbase there  ) as my country doesn't show up at all (but the Faroe Islands and Moldova do, for some reason).

At least the German cities are a mess as well. At first glance only cities I never heard of, the big cities i was looking for (Hamburg) missing...

Same here for Romania. I do not care if there are Hungarians over here, I don't need/want to see Hungarian city names for Romanian cities.

Also, in all cases the region ("state") names are unneccesarily included on the "Cities" list. "Województwo" means essentially the same thing as "state".

Israel is missing too :/
I think it's because you also have to fill in the area, cities etc. so it'd quite a database to put.

No Australia either, unless there's something I'm missing...? How did any countries actually manage to get forgotten in that list? :confused:
