ArchivesRe: Edit submiited names?
in reply to a message by jiop
There is also the possibility to correct a name: https://www.behindthename.com/submit/submit
The correction will appear in a discussion tab attached to the submitted name (I'm not sure, but I suspect this tab is only visible to editors). Sooner or later, an editor will see your comment and take it into consideration if the information is appropriate / relevant or dismiss it if it's not.
Let me emphasize, though, that you (general you) should add reliable sources, both to corrections and to new submissions; I wish more submitters did that. We, the editors, constantly review old and new submissions alike to make the submitted names database as reliable as it can possibly be. It really is helpful when submitters add their sources.
