Automated correction of standardisation of names

On https://www.familysearch.org/tree/improve-place-names/ for around 40 records, I was replacing Glenbervie,Kincardine,Scotland with Glenbervie,Kincardineshire,Scotland.

Could you the developers make a tool that counts the most unstandardized place names and then sort it via magnitude. Then you could create certain rules, which could swap, the names of new data and also potentially review new data, like from GED trees and user input.

This could greatly expedite the process.

Regards,

Alex

    Given FS's track record with automated changes, my response is an emphatic PLEASE DON'T.
