I have a report from a distant cousin on Nora Tobin. In editing the details of Nora's mom, Mary (Hickey) Tobin, I attributed the minor changes to this report by Joan Frederici, but misspelled her name here 18 Nov 2020

16:01: You edited the Birth Date, Birth Place and Status Indicators for Mary (Hickey) Tobin (abt.1849-). (Federici report on Nora Tobin)
I would like to correct his misspelling. Thanks!

I'm not quite clear on this problem. You are the manager for Mary Tobin's profile, so you can edit all her names.

Go to the Edit tab at the top of the profile, find the misspelled named in the data field, then type in the correct spelling.

After which, be sure to click the large SAVE CHANGES bar.

Hey John,

That profile is open so you can edit anything but the LNAB.

The Biography could use a hand in cleaning and I guess the given link is a source so that could go well prepared in the source list.

You cannot edit changelogs. If your post here is meant as an addendum: thank you very much.

I agree with Michel.  The misspelling note in changes cannot be changed. It only is explaining what was changed.  Most people will never notice it while reading changes.
