Showing if something is standardized

genthusiast

...two different labels for the same place.

And two or three different 'standardized' labels for Redhall/Harleston - which makes standardizing for that place more cumbersome.

@KenWarren you did demonstrate an instance where red lettered "Place not Standardized" (or whatever that message is) - did not appear and the standardized place was still incorrect - because the Places database is not complete/finalized for the particular location - and won't be until someone corrects it. So you did demonstrate the need to click Edit and verify the 'standardized' place.

Just my guess: The record substantiating Matthew Fuller's birth about 1610 likely is an ecclesiastical parish record - not from the civil parish of Redenhall with Harleston which apparently did not begin civil registration until after 1837. Incidentally that Redenhall with Harleston wiki link contains a reference to Notes on the Parish archive.org source - which may contain some Fuller family references.

@KenWarren, lack of the map pin never meant lack of standardization.

The presence of that icon meant that in the current interface language, the chosen location had as one of its labels exactly the string of characters currently being displayed. Change the interface language, and the pin would go away. Add a district or street address or other clarification, and the pin would go away.

In other words, whatever that map pin used to do, making "standardization easier" was not among its effects. What it did do, unfortunately, is mislead many, many people into destroying good data in favor of less-good data, in the name of getting that dratted icon to show. This is why it needed to Go Away.
