Tommy, It's not necessary to add the word "County" to the Massachusetts locations unless there's an ambiguous location such as "Barnstable" where it's unclear if it was the town or county name referenced.

Hi Tommy, USA is an acceptable abbreviation of the country we live in--United States of America. United States is just as much of an abbreviation of the country. I prefer to use USA or United States of America. Thanks, Emma
While USA is an acceptable abbreviation of the country we live in, along with the United States of America, the majority of the entries on WikiTree are entered with United States. In order for the Location entries to sort correctly in the new tables that have been created since January of 2022, it is imperative that the country we live in be standardized so that ALL entries for a particular location can be grouped together when sorting by country.

Thanks Tommy

Hi Tommy, please post a proposal in g2g to standardize the name if that's what you think needs to happen. I have no idea which tables you're talking about ("new tables that have been created since January of 2022") but we have no problem running reports for any USA locations written with USA, United States, or United States of America since they all appear on Ales' location table. The only reason more people currently choose United States is because it's what shows up in the location dropdown we've inherited from Family Search. It's not a standard WT preference at present. Emma
The feature that was working 4 months ago no longer works. I have no hope of it ever working again. Any "proposal" is mute at this time.

Update.

You can see the birth place and death place sorted by country, then by state, then by county and then by city in the CC7 view app. Simply click the “birth place” or “death place” heading to toggle the column display from local to country or country to local. When all the locations have been standardized, all entries (profiles) of the same location will be grouped/seen together.

It used to work in the table view on a surname page using the WikiTree BEE Chrome browser extension.

Thank you for the explanation. I know they are working to integrate the BEE into the WBE, but that doesn't fix what you're looking at. The easiest solution is probably to send a message to whomever is the creator of the cc7 View app and let them know of the problem. They should easily be able to code a fix. When we run location reports for USBH, they see USA, United States, and United States of America as the same because that's how Ales has the locations table coded.
Hi Emma,

Ian has just informed me that this feature has been moved from BEE to WBE. I quickly looked at it in Chrome and it appears to be working correctly (clicking on the "Place" column correctly sorts the entries by country). It's not in the Safari version yet.

I had to manually turn the option on in the "Other" section of Settings within the Chrome Browser Extension. It's listed in Settings as: Surname Table Options

PS: Ancestry has some new BETA report tools coming out (for a monthly charge) and one of them is mapping the ancestors/entries. There is an emphasis NOW (on Ancestry) to standardize the place names in one's tree(s) so that this mapping feature will work correctly. I hope WikiTree is not the last kid on the block to eventually realize that the place names need to be standardized.

Good luck to Ancestry to expect millions of trees to have standardized locations. It isn't ever going to happen. I see everything under the sun in location fields on people's trees, some of it is even correct :-) BTW, to make things even more fun, Ancestry uses USA as their preferred country, Find a Grave uses United States of America and Family Search uses United States. But at the end of the day, AI will eventually make this a moot topic. Emma
Thank you Tommy for co-leading the Southern Super Sweepers team for April's Connect a Thon. You especially did an awesome job on the team page keeping us all informed and updated on the challenge. Wishing you the best for future endeavors.
