So now that we can add publishers directly in item submission, I noticed that I can review the very long list of publishers that have been added onto the site over the years. With just a quick scan through them, it seems like there are quite a few dupes, errors or "similar entries".
Some examples that I found were:
"Activision" and "Activitision"
"Codemasters Software Company Limited", "Codemasters Software Company, Ltd" and "Codemasters Software Company Limited, The"
Four listings for "Capcom Co. Ltd" etc... There's a lot that needs to be fixed it seems.
Whether the admins want to use a separate thread for identifying these and fixing them, or if we want to start adding these to the current duplicate and error listings thread, I thought it would be important to at least call attention to this so people know to keep an eye out for this stuff when creating entries.
Thanks
EDIT: The drop down menu is only viewable when creating a new item, not when editing it
