Correcting a location error

I have noticed on numerous occasions of a location which is shown as the following (without quotes):

"Stokes, Pitt, North Carolina, United States"

The correct naming of the location should be

Stokes County, North Carolina, United States or possibly Stokes, North Carolina, USA.

The reason for this request is to correct a huge number of errors for births, marriages, and deaths showing as a Stokes community in Pitt County, North Carolina (e.g., Stokes, Pitt, North Carolina). However, there is no "Pitt" in Stokes County, North Carolina and the counties that adjoin Stokes Coiunty are:

Patrick County, Virginia - to the north

Henry County, Virginia - to the north

Rockingham County - to the east

Forsyth County - to the south

Surry County - to the west

This error in naming location applies to a huge number of births, marriages, and deaths as well.
