In Progress

Finding people by birth place is now next to impossible

Particularly if it's a place which shares its name with multiple cities/towns around the world.

I used to enjoy seeing all the movie/tv people who came from my town but it's now muddled with tons more from several towns/cities that happen to share the same name and are much bigger. (E.g. London Ontario Canada now includes London UK & any other London in the world.)

What happened?

IMDB please fix.

If you click the placename on one of the name pages or bio subpages, the link seems to be slightly different, and the results seem to be for any place called London.
