    Re: Place Standardization
    "I am firmly on the "name at the time of the event" side: that's an unchanging historical fact. (If the place had multiple names.. .

    SUGGESTION:

    Like for "Multiple Spouses" we have the option to select "Preferred one"

    Give us the option to SELECT the PREFERRED ORIGINAL PLACE NAME and let all those who adulterate names with their versions do so - I will select the ORIGINAL

    Thank you,

    Christo.
