Paul said: This problem is partly highlighted in the topic at https://getsatisfaction.com/familysea....
However. it is not only older sources with incorrectly formatted place names that are causing a problem. As illustrated at https://www.familysearch.org/tree/per... (under Other Information) census sources have been added to FamilySearch that include symbols (brackets / parenthesis).
Also, a relatively new feature is to allow TWO Residence fields to be carried across when adding a census source. The first might (or might not) have a standard place name, but the second is usually a street name (like "High Street") that will naturally produce a warning flag (red exclamation mark), for which the reason will show (when going to "Edit") as, "No standard is selected".
Okay, these "warnings" can be ignored, especially if they only appear in the Other Information section. But they don't present a good appearance on the Person page and are adding unwanted work for the very conscientious user.
