I’ve noticed that quite a few artists are in the database with a trailing space after their name. This usually doesn’t make any difference, but on collaborations it can make the list of names look a little weird, with an extra space before the comma. Usually when I see these I make an edit suggestion to remove it, but that’s triggering additional work for someone else, so seems like the sort of thing that would be best done in bulk (and by stripping these at creation time)
Trailing spaces happen, as far as I can tell, when we use auto fill, and the device you’re using helpfully adds the space afterwards, and the user forgets to delete it. It’s not just artists where this happens.
I’m down as a photographer as SAOS , and SAOS.
Good point! I’ll be implementing something that strips tailing spaces automatically for future entries from various fields.
