Description of Warning - 474: Profile completeness - Abbreviated Birth location Country not recommended
The birth location is abbreviated, which is not recommended in Wikitree location fields. Accepted exceptions are USA and UK.
Location endings that are identified as invalid are defined in this table. Look for number 616 in "Accepted spelling" column. The table is maintained by Aleš and Data Doctors project in colaboration with other geographical projects.
This suggestion is the same as 616 - Abbreviated Birth location Country not recommended
Content of info column: Possible country
Possible Causes
The location is recognized as the country in predefined countries list, but it is flagged as not recommended form due to the usage of abbreviations.
Action Steps
Correct the Birth location, but be careful, since some abbriviations can be ambigious. If you think the country form is correct, open the subject in G2G, or in the Data Doctors Google Group (if you are a member).

Technical Stuff
This suggestion is calculated only for orphaned profiles. Ending of each entered Birth location is recognized as specific country, but that form is marked as unofficial in the Predefined countries list. I do the recognition based on https://plus.wikitree.com/function/WTShowTable/Table.htm?table=Countries. This definitions are still being added, so ask for additions if needed.
