New person page icons for standard place, date

I love the new person page with one exception: I miss the icons that indicate whether or not a date or place is standardized. Those icons on the old person page made it easy to see (at a quick glance) whether or not standardization was completed.

    As has been discussed multiple times since the new pages were released, the icons never indicated whether a place name was standardized or not. That was represented by the red exclamation point.

    On the new pages, if a place name is not standardized there is a message in red text "Non-standardized Date" or "Non-standardized Place". If that message is not there, they are standardized.

    There is a common misunderstanding that a place is not standardized unless it looks exactly like the standard. That has never been true. Place names can be whatever they need to be for the sake of clarity, completeness, and accuracy then linked to a standardized value.

    Please never remove valuable place name information and degrade a place name just to make it look like the standard.
