    Hi everybody, I thought I'd give you all an update on this one. 


    We've done a lot of work on this over the last couple of years, but this is the sort of project that is going to be ongoing pretty far into the future.


    Things that have been done:

    • Added the 'Report Issue' functionality to the website (in the navigation) where users can report duplicates that they come across
    • Added admin tools to merge duplicate Bands/Venues/Locations/Concerts when we find them or when a user reports them.
    • Created 'aliases' behind the scenes for Bands/Venues/Locations so that any duplicates that we merge won't pop up again in the future as duplicates.
    • We now verify locations against the external Geonames database to standardize them.
    • Implemented a location verification step after a concert is created to prompt the user to verify and standardize the location that they entered.
    • Reviewed all of the locations…

    Your site would be much more valuable if I could look up history of a venue (Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles, as an example) and find one entry instead of the 23 that are there now. I do not have that problem on setlist.fm
