Guest has never used FamilySearch (does not have an account).

Guest did a google search for her uncle and found the Discovery Page for him. When she arrived at this Discovery Page, there were many errors (including that her living father was listed as deceased). She immediately wanted to correct it but there was no information to help her make edits to data that she knew was wrong.

It would be helpful for guests accessing the Discovery Pages from an outside google search to have some kind of introduction as to where the information comes from. It would also help to have a disclaimer that the information on the Discovery Page cannot be edited there (but through FamilySearch) and that the information is only as accurate as the information provided on the FamilySearch website.

Guest tried to use the Help feature at the top of the Discovery Page to learn how to edit information but none of those links are working.
