When I right click on Gibeon in Joshua 9:3, and click place, then Bible Facts, all I get is information on God appearing to Solomon at Gibeon rather than the place. The database needs updated to reflect that it can be either.  If I manually enter 'Gibeon', I can get it as a place.

    When I do the same thing I get the place!

    Strange...

    Actually, the more I play with this feature, the more I realise when you click on 'place' you are not necessarily going to get the place information, but rather some other iteration of it.  Makkedah in verse 28 does the same thing. When I re-enter 'Makkedah' in Biblical Facts it gives me the option, but right clicking the word in the verse and clicking place, Biblical Facts does not. This is a bit inefficient work flow wise and it would be nice to see this streamlined.

    It's the Bible you are using, I believe from your screenshot you are doing on the New Living — use the ESV and you will see the light [:)]

    Sean Boisen from Logos who is looking after most of the Datasets stuff told me in another post that different resources have, currently, different levels of tagging. They continue to work on it, would guess they would be focusing on the more 'major' Bible versions first.

    This is very helpful to know as I frequently jump around from version to version depending on what I am doing.
