Richard George Reynolds said: Fix Place-Names comes up somewhat frequently with commas (, or ,,,), regardless - with no fixable information ... so the 'fixer' just skips it, but I will bet it shows up again and again in other lists offered to users to fix.

Suggest an option to "Clear Place" if in actuality if contains no alpha-numeric text ... like just commas. 1) It takes that place out of circulation, and 2) It actually "fixes" it.
