Will you please add Place for Saint Marys Cemetery in Winona, Minnesota, defaults to Oakridge, MN?

There is a huge Saint Mary's (Catholic Church) Cemetery in Winona, Winona County, Minnesota, but the only place name you have is for the Saint Mary's (Immaculate Conception) Cemetery in Oakridge, Winona County, Minnesota. Since the "Find a Grave Index" records can be attached through your site, it would be very helpful to have the correct standardized place match instead of having to deselect the Oakridge option to use the Winona city option (no cemetery name) in the Standardized Place field. If you look at the cemetery maps https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2267018/saint-marys-cemetery/map you can see that cemetery in Oakridge is quite a ways from the one in the city of Winona.

Thanks

FYI

Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

I am just another 'lowly' Users/Patron ...

Further to what has already been proffered by 'genthusiast' ...

There is ALSO, a specific 'Group', in the "Group" Section, of this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum, that is monitored, by those in 'FamilySearch', who are responsible for the 'Place Names' in 'FamilySearch'; where, "Requests" for either,

(1) the addition of NEW "Place Names"; or,

(2) CHANGES to EXISTING "Place Names",

in "Place Names" Database, in 'FamilySearch', CAN be submitted.

[ Please be aware, that It is a simple matter of "Joining" a 'Group', to post in a 'Group'. ]

The specific 'Group' to which I refer is:
