City of Denver County of Denver--Almost correct but not quite

In 1902, Denver, which was formerly in Arapahoe county, Colorado, became part of the county of Denver in Colorado. I noticed that one can finally add Denver, Colorado as a place name however it is still not correct. Just as Salt Lake City is located in Salt Lake County in Utah, Denver is located in Denver County in Colorado. So if someone is born or dies in Denver, Colorado, the correct place name since 1902 is Denver, Denver, Colorado, United States. Just using Denver, Colorado, United States is incomplete. Getting closer, but still not quite there.

    @Judy Crook_1, Thank you for the reminder on this issue.

    Today I followed the instructions in "How do I correct or edit a place in FamilySearch Places?" and submitted a request to "Improve this place" for Denver, Denver, Colorado, United States, a place that is dear to me. In my request, I used your explaination above. Thank you for that.

    Can anyone provide insight into a typical timeline for such requests?
