Mark 1:1- 4 fails to provide place tab in person/place/thing

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Technical explanation: You've highlighted a Biblical Sense on the context menu. Biblical Places (which appears in Factbook) is a different data set, which is not tagged in this verse because it only includes "named places" (or possibly only those that have a specific physical location; I don't recall the exact criteria for inclusion in the data set). We eventually expanded Biblical People from named people to all people (e.g., "A man", "A crowd") so it's plausible that we could do the same for Biblical Places, especially for theologically significant "unnamed places". (Of course, there would be numerous interpretation questions to resolve: are all instances of "the wilderness" tagged as the same thing, or do we create entries for "The Wilderness of Jesus' Temptation", "The Wilderness of the Israelites' Wanderings", "The Wilderness Fled To By The Woman in Revelation", etc.?)

    So, while I'd technically call this "working as designed", or perhaps "missing data", and won't be filing a bug for this behaviour, I agree that it doesn't match user expectations and is a suggestion for how we could improve our data sets (and context menu) in the future.

    Thanks Bradley. That makes sense but I suspect it will cause a fair amount of confusion. Fortunately, missing data is not your problem.
