Hallo,

Thanks for your wonderful service.

I found a baptism from Kimberley, South Africa, but it is shown as Kimberley, Australia.

The page says it cannot be edited and I understand, but is there a way of setting the obvious error straight? I have seen plenty of Kimberley, Australia that should have been Kimberley, South Africa.

Is there a way we could correct this?

    This is an auto-standardization error: the place was indexed as just "Kimberley", with the assumption that the collection's metadata would supply the correct country, but the bot unfortunately completely ignored such clues and just picked whatever came up at the top of the list.
