    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…

    It's not just concerts with duplicity - search "middle east" under Venues. There are THREE PAGES of results, all for what appear to be the same venue: The Middle East in Cambridge, MA, which has both an upstairs stage and a downstairs stage so should return, at most, two results.

    I love the service and the website format and all, but the data is all over the place!
