Please could ampersands (&) be added to the permitted list, for locations such as "Church of St Peter & St Paul" or "Chicago & Milwaukee Railway". It's wrong to replace these particular ampersands with "and" for the same reason that we use serial commas; they are a single entity, not a list. As a precedent, the WikiTree style guide requests that Wikipedia be cited in the Chicago style, which is evidence that Chicago formatting is preferred elsewhere on WikiTree, which means preserving the ampersand in proper nouns.
Hi! I have a whole bunch of profiles with "non-breaking space" suggestions for the marriage locations, but I can't figure out what exactly needs correcting. Could someone take a look? here are two that are flagged. Thanks!

Weber-8735 (this one I redid to the suggested location, but I don't see any difference from what I originally had....)

Cramer-2983 (this one I haven't touched so you could see if there is somehow a difference)

You did the correction on Weber-8735 correctly. You basically just need to delete all spaces in the location and write them again.

Please add to possible causes:

Information that is copied from other software or websites may contain stylized punctuation that can be hard to identify. These include characters such as an opening single quotes (‘) or closing single quotes (’) instead of straight single quotes ('), or opening double quotes (“) or closing double quotes (”) instead of straight double quotes (").
