@EarlMarshall if it isnt documented it didnt happen Thank you for reporting the inaccurate place standardization issue. We have reported it to the group that can make corrections. Because of their large backlog, we cannot predict how long it will take for corrections to be in place. But, @Julia Szent-Györgyi, I do see these kinds of issues resolved every week. So, changes are happening. It just takes time.

The autostandardization bot strikes (out) again. You can recognize its
depredations::ahem, sorry, I meant:: activities by the presence of two Event Place fields. The one labeled with a parenthetical "Original" is the text that was actually indexed; the other one is what the computer picked out from the Places database to go with that text.@N Tychonievich has been dutifully and graciously forwarding these to the people who are supposed to fix them, but I don't expect visible results in this decade, at this rate.
