List any Place records whose tidied names would be duplicates and thus should be merged.
Variations due to the placement of commas and spaces, or the case of letters are disregarded.
The duplicate Place records are listed in a Result Set.
To merge Place records, first select either the Original Record or the Duplicate Record, whichever is the variant to keep.
Use the Edit > Merge/Compare Records… command and select the other Place record before completing the Merge.

Thank you Mike for this Plugin.
I have two questions, one related to this plugin specifically. Would it be possible to have check boxes, and a select all, buttons for the Tidy Name Places, and then a Select button that would eliminate the time consuming job of Merging?
The second question is directly related to Merging. I’ve searched, but have not found a way to add the Merge/Compare Records to the Toolbar. Have I missed it, or is it hidden to prevent accidental merges?
