Records of my deceased Armenian relatives occasionally become confidential. How to get it fixed?
Hello, I am working on my Armenian family history, and I have a recurring problem where records that I've made will occasionally become private/confidential, even though they are deceased. It happens when I add birthplace information involving Armenia, Ottoman Empire, Turkey, or Persia. but does not happen to all of my records with those locations, so I am not sure why it happens with some but not others. In the past when it happens, I'll post in the community, and eventually someone in the FamilySearch support staff will remove the private/confidential label, but I'm wondering if there is someone I can contact directly so that I don't need to keep making community posts about it? I know the problem does not only happen to me, since people whom I am collaborating with sometimes have the same issue and have to go through similar hurdles to get the problem fixed. It makes collaboration a challenge when we are working on the same family lines and cannot see what records have already been made. Is there someone who could help? These are the 4 records I've made that are currently confidential that I am hoping to have the confidential be removed:

This is happening to many of my relatives as well. Nobody is at risk from any of this information, and all the sources that generated it are public. This accomplishes nothing other than erasing Armenian heritage from public view and making it more difficult for Armenian cousins to find each other. It needs to stop.
