SOPN Parsing: Table Parsing Errors #1728

Open VirginiaDooley opened 2 years ago

VirginiaDooley commented 2 years ago

This issue is exclusively to track issues with SOPN Table Parsing. For SOPN Parsing: Table Extraction Errors, go here: https://github.com/DemocracyClub/yournextrepresentative/issues/1727 For SOPN Parsing: Page Extraction Errors, go here: https://github.com/DemocracyClub/yournextrepresentative/issues/1726

Table parsing errors are typically found after a successful SOPN upload, during a bot parse. Either the bot fails to parse completely (which could be the result of a table extraction failure) and no information is pre-filled in the bulk add form, or there is some pre-filled info but that info might have:

Missing party names
Incorrect candidate names - out of order, incorrect casing, etc

Please add these types of issues in the comments below with a

Just locked the Dunfermline South one, although I notice this is another one with double barrelled names causing an issue - this time as it appears the name isn’t hyphenated so is being treated as a middle name rather than a surname. https://candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/elections/local.fife.dunfermline-south.2022-05-05/ https://candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/person/85877/lynn-ballantyne-wardlaw

the first letter of surnames ended up as an initial in their name https://candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/elections/local.cheltenham.all-saints.2022-05-05/sopn/

Same happened for Howdenshire Ward of East Riding of Yorkshire Council https://candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/elections/local.east-riding-of-yorkshire.howdenshire.2023-05-04/

And again for East Wolds & Coastal Ward https://candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/bulk_adding/sopn/local.east-riding-of-yorkshire.east-wolds-and-coastal.2023-05-04/

For all(?) the Rushmoor SOPNs, the first letter of each surname has been split off:
