Wrong place suggestions for city, how to add/remove?

I'm trying to add the location of birth for someone born in Baarle, Drongen, East Flanders, Belgium. It can also be written as Baarle, East Flanders, Belgium.

However, neither of those options exist on the suggestions; instead there's an option for Baarle, Sint-Martens-Latem, East Flanders, Belgium. This suggestion is plainly wrong because Baarle is located close to Sint-Martens-Latem, but it was never a part of it.

So that existing suggestion should be deleted, and the 2 correct options should be added. How can someone do this?

    Go to the Places tool, search for Baarle, click it (https://www.familysearch.org/research/places/?searchTypeaheadInputText=baarle&text=baarle&focusedId=6739775), and click "improve this place". In the first drop-down, choose "parent place", then type in an explanation, give a source URL showing the correct jurisdiction, and enter your email. Depending on workload and available manpower, someone will eventually make the correction; they may or may not contact you about it.
