Description of Warning - 477: Profile completeness - Ambiguous Birth location Country not recommended

The birth location is ambiguous, usually due to a separator issue such as a missing comma between place and country, or an incorrect separator was used.

Location endings that are identified as invalid are defined in this table. Look for number 617 in "Accepted spelling" column. The table is maintained by Aleš and Data Doctors project in colaboration with other geographical projects.

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. These definitions are still being added, so ask for additions if needed.
