Not sure who to report it to? This whole section is filed under the incorrect town/city. It should be under

Hostotipaquillo, Jalisco, México

however,

it is under Huejuquilla el Alto, Jalisco, Mexico...


Most of the entries of this partial section have the wrong town.... I fixed one or two, but the whole section is discombobulated....I do not know how, nor who it should be reported to......

    You will probably want to cite a record to which you are referring (include a URI/URL in your report) - but your report/Idea here is a good first step.

    If you post your Idea as a Search category question rather than an Idea (since it sounds like you are referring to published, indexed records) - it allows Community to flag it for MODerator review. They are the ones that can receive your report and notify you that it is being looked into. I don't recall seeing much MODerator interaction in Ideas.

    Do these records show 2 locations in the index, one marked "Original"? If that is the case, it is not an indexing problem, but a placename standardization issue.

    The typed name does NOT match the actual place in the old text
