Please Fix Capitalization Errors in the Places Database
I'd like to ask if it is possible general fixing of the confusing case with the place names starting with lower-case letter?
I think this is mostly with the places which names are of Cyrillic origin turned into Latin letters. Many of the populated places are written with lower-case letter.
Some Examples:

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I learned that we didn't have an English variant name and display name for those places. My computer is set to English language, and it appears that when there is no English variant name and display name, it results in this capitalization problem.
When I added the English versions of the names, they displayed with capitalized first letters.
We will check the database for more instances like the ones you pointed out, and fix those as well.
We appreciate your help improving FamilySearch Places.
