How can I get a "Read Only" family member updated?

Governor Samuel Huntington #2ZVG-NTV is my 10th Great Cousin, twice removed, and his FamilySearch page is a "Read Only".

His place of birth is worded incorrectly - Should be Windham, Windham, Connecticut Colony, British Colonial America (didn't become the United States until after the Revolutionary War was over on 9/3/1783)

There are several sources posted that are for a different Samuel Huntington with different parents listed, and they need to be removed. Duplicate sources where one should be deleted: Posted 5/6/2014 for Connecticut, Charles R. Hale Collection, Vital Records 1640-1955 & posted 6/1/2017 for Connecticut Deaths & Burials 1772-1934.

There are 4 sources that should be added, showing his date of birth as 7/3/1731. There is a discrepancy on his date of birth, which would be helpful if that information was also listed. His Find A Grave Memorial shows his date of birth as 7/16/1731.

    Additional information that I did not include in my original question: There are 3 sources on Ancestry.com showing his date of birth as 7/3/1731

    *North American Family Histories 1500-2000 (A Genealogical Memoir Of The Huntington Family In This Country; Embracing All The Known Descendants, Published in 1863, Page #111)

    *Appletons' Cyclopedia of American Biography 1600-1889

    *Biographical Directory of the United States Congress 1774-2005

    The other source, showing the same date of birth, is in my copy of the following genealogy book:

    *The Huntington Family In America; A Genealogical Memoir Of The Known Descendants Of Simon Huntington From 1633-1915 Part 1. Page #543
