We're instructed to separate geographic locations with a comma. However I see several batches that don't have a comma (Reno Nevada) or have a space before and after the comma (Reno , Nevada). Do I need to correct those? My correction doesn't mark that field as corrected—just stays green.

    Punctuation misplaced or missing is not counted as an error (that's why the light stays green); however commas are important when determining locality/city/town and county, especially in Ireland where the word County is written first, then the place name. Example: Anytown, County Mayo, Ireland. Also Co. is the abbreviation for County and should be corrected to read County.
