            Fictional Setting doesn't appear to use the correct terminology in one of it's properties. Or perhaps, Fictional Character does not. Confusing at the least.

            If you look at Homer Simpson you can see that his Places Lived shows Krusty Burger - That's not true. However looking at the other end at Krusty Burger does show that it's a Fictional Setting and Organization in Fiction correctly and the property "Characters that have been here" describes Characters that have lived or been here.

            Perhaps it's best just to expand the property description on the Fictional Character from "Places Lived" to "Places lived or appeared at" ? "Places lived or been to" sounds limiting, I think.

            Thoughts?

              It could be that we could change the description from the Fictional character > Places lived property. The key will remain the same I think, but we could re-title it as you suggest: "Places lived or appeared at"

              I'm going to put it to the community, but when I created the return linkage for Characters that have been here it should have been restricted to Characters who've lived here. We shouldn't try to capture every single place visited by Sherlock Holmes in this property, it should be just 221-B Baker St and maybe Dorset (pseudo-retirement). Bilbo Baggin's lived in the Shire (Bag's End, Hobbiton) and Rivendell. So I propose to correct my mistaken widening of the scope of the places lived property to visited to be narrowed back down to just dwelling locations.

                Sounds good Gordon. +1 to narrowing all the descriptions on both ends to just "places lived"

              Of course this does mean some data cleanup for 'places lived' as we now have restricted the focus of this property.
