Thanks in advance... 

Sometimes a company in Freebase has two cities in the HQ address area when it really doesn't.  If the second city is correct, and you delete the first address line, and then try to add information into the remaining line, the autofill fields won't work.  You can type things in there, but the auto-suggest won't "open" and you can't link the field to an actual topic.  You have to close out and then go back in.

In case that is confusing :) here's hopefully something that will help:

Company XYZ

Company/Headquarters "field"

Line 1 = Paris

Line 2 = London

Go in and delete Paris.  Then try to fill in the other address fields for the London line.  the fields that link to other topics won't work.

This isn't necessarily a bug, but how can you remove the value in the Gender field from the Person type? 

For example, I want to remove the Person type from the Bass Brothers topic, but I need to remove the "Male" from the Gender.  But I can't figure out how to do that.

If I clear out the value, it wants me to pick something from the list.  I cleared the value and then quickly hit enter, but I don't think the form likes that option as it keeps the value pick list open even when the box is closed :) [of course that disappears as soon as I leave the page]

Is there a way to allow someone to blank out a field for cases like this?

People are adding bands, tv shows and things like Wikipedia to the Influence domain (which is intended to be restricted to people), which adds the included type 'people' to things that are obviously not people.  I'm not policing the domain rigorously, and you're going to end up with junky data.  You could have something like a message:

"Wikipedia" is not yet typed as a person (required by Influence Node). Do you want to continue and add Wikipedia as a person?

Usually the auto suggestions are fine, but sometimes there are topcis, particularly common city/town names, where there are more options but the auto-suggest list isn't long enough.

For example, try adding Cambridge, Vermont to a location field and you won't see it (well, not the couple times I tried).  And depending on the Type, you may not be able to go into that town topic to add the town in the "back way".

One thing I've noticed while trying to add town names to fields is that the auto-suggest won't use the aka name of a topic.  So you can't type "Cambridge, V" to pull up the Vermont specific topic. 

Perhaps if we could, then we'd be able to better access these "hidden" topics in the list.  I know if we lengthen the list then we can run into other issues (like performance) and we probably can't make certain names/topics give a longer list instead of doing a global lengthen.  Otherwise, not sure how we can address this issue.
