Needs more information error in FamilySearch Family Tree

One of the most common error messages in FamilySearch.org's Family Tree program is the "Needs More Information" error. It seems that most of these errors arise from the practice of putting explanatory words into the "name" spaces in the program. For reference, here is a quote from the Help Center article entitled, "Information Required for Ordinances to Be Performed." It might be necessary to sign in with an LDS Account to see some of these help items.
For individual ordinances, you must have the following information: 
Name 
Complete names are preferred. Partial names are acceptable if that is all you can find. Use the maiden name for females. 
Gender 
The gender must be either male or female. 
Death 
The system requires that the individual record be marked as deceased. 
A country for birth, christening, marriage, death, or burial 
A standardized place for birth, christening, marriage, death, or burial is required. The standardized place must contain at least the name of the country. 
Enough information for the FamilySearch website to uniquely identify the person 
This may include the following information:
  • Dates and places of events, such as birth, christening, marriage, death, and burial.
  • Names and relationships of family members, such as parents, siblings, spouse, children, and grandparents.
Here is a list of the names and symbols that will prevent the names from being cleared for ordinances. Although the Family Tree program is rather "liberal" in allowing names to be qualified. These issues must and should be resolved before trying to qualify the names.
