How can I get Liptingen, Stockach, Baden, Germany changed to standard, since it is on many sources?

This place is on many of my sources from a Catholic Church in that town. FamilySearch will only allow Stockach, Baden, Germany as standard. This eliminates my town of Liptingen.

    You can suggest a new standardized place be added to the database by using the link here:

    In the meantime, this section of the article "How do I enter dates and places into Family Tree" might be helpful.

    • Tips for places:
      • The database of standard places is not yet complete. The standards will improve over time.
      • If possible, enter the name of a place as it existed when the event happened.
      • You have the option to enter places in your native language or the native language of the place.
      • If the correct standard is not available, enter the place as you want it to be recorded, add a space, and then enter a version of the place-name that can be standardized. This may be the modern-day place-name or the name of the county, state, province, or country where it is currently located.
