Verifying places, all the verified place may be names are incorrect, but no way to tell you
When veryfying places I have come across incorrect standardized places several times.
Once example is Monkwearmouth, Durham. Durham is a town in County Durham. Monkwearmouth is not part of Durham so must be in County Durham but all I was offered was Monkwearmouth, Durham, England, United Kingdom. This is incorrect and could be confusing.
I think it would be a good idea if we could let you know when we find such anomolies, if people are doing their own Countries they are likely to know the correct names of counties or areas.
All I can do at the moment is to skip the entry when there is no correct standardised place.
