ERROR - placename Borne
@N Tychonievich another one https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QL5B-29MF placename "Borne, North Brabant, Netherlands" must be "Borne, Overijssel, Netherlands".

@Lars van Ravenzwaaij Yes, it's a bit of a mess. For now, I've been told to report each place where we find errors individually. So, that's what we'll do.

@Lars van Ravenzwaaij It seems that we'll never run out of these. I'll report this one.

@N Tychonievich Well, it looks like if the ai-software ignores the entry for the collections in openarch.nl. And therefore, it seems, it just takes the first entry in the placename datebase. In the Netherlands, as in most countries, often multiple places with the same name in different provinces exist. And therefore the automated entry by the ai-software is often wrong.
Also, as in this case, often a complete collection is wrong. If we look at the complete family (parents and children) every source has the wrong place.
There should be another way to solve this. Otherwise I could find myself reporting thousands of wrong entries (for every birth, baptism, marriage, death and so on).

@Maile L I tried to post my orginal comment 24h ago. I didn't seem to work. So I tried to send it a few times. Somewhere, it seems, there was a glitch.
