There are so many people complaining about bad indexing and indexers not entering the correct data on these Standardized Places. It would be much appreciated if FamilySearch would post an Official Statement regarding the problems with standardized places and why they are incorrect on the indexes.

It is totally unfair to the volunteers who work diligently to make sure these indexes are as correct as possible to be constantly blamed for this problem which is rampant throughout the searches!

At least with an official statement stating that the problem is known and is being worked on, it could be attached to these daily complaints about indexing errors.

Thanks.
