Valid locations are not showing when in Verify Places activity

I have noticed that on occasion, a valid location in a country will not appear in the Verify Places list. I don't know of a way to add a valid location, or to suggest a new valid location to system administrators.

I wouldn't want users to be able to alter the location database, as that would result in nonsense and trolling all too quickly.

Is there a way to let the system admins know when the Places database doesn't have a valid entry that should be there?

Thanks all! 🌎️

    Yes! See: https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-request-a-new-place-in-the-database-of-standardized-places

    The Places database if far from complete and there is a limited number of people on the team that work on additions and improvements. So it can take a while for your suggestions to be added.
