How do I correct the census citation for people listed in the wrong state?

James Robert Plott LX34-MC8, his family and neighbors are listed as living in 1930 Logan Co., Nebraska. The census page is actually 1930 Logan Co., West Virginia. Random samples indicate that there are at least several pages of errors. Is there a way I can fix this?

@N Tychonievich please and thank you. Another instance of the placename bot at work. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XMHQ-JRJ

@Bob Zingo When you see an Event Place (Original) and a similarly named Event Place, that indicates that the placename standardization algorithm has been at work, and usually not in a good way.

You are in luck with this record, it is editable! If you don't now how to edit a record, see the link below.

@MinnWisRoots Yes, that single instance can be edited, but we really need the developers to fix the issue with the placename standardization algorithm. We can't possibly edit those hundreds of thousands of records with corrupted placenames.
