Correcting place names

Good Day

I have spent many hours correcting place names for my country specifically.

Someone at Family Search keeps changing them back to the incorrect information.

Notice this has been happening from 1 February 2021.

2 changes are made - the correct information updated by Family Search and on the same date it is changed back to the incorrect information also by Family Search.

Any idea why?☹️

    It would be helpful if you could attach screen shots of what is happening. We need to see where it happened and of course which country. Thank you reporting the problem. Please send screen shots. Thank you

    Unfortunately I did not keep a record of the names.

    The country is South Africa and the place is Claremont, Cape Town, South Africa.

    I made a number of corrections yesterday and put the reason for the change in the "notes" section.

    Hope you can trace them from that?
