Help required to fix database error 133 - location names on both birth & marriage please.

I have used http://gov.genealogy.net as a reference & tried a couple of corrections which were not accepted.

This may be because (even though the Kingdom of Württemberg was a sovereign nation from 1803 to 1871) the Wikitree+ bot might not recognize this as a country - try Deutscher Bund (which was the confederation to which Württemberg belonged at this time, similar to today's European Union) as a country instead.
An, I'm sorry to disagree with you, but the correct name of the country at the time of the event is what belongs in the location field.  If the bot has a problem with that then the bot's data needs to be corrected, not the profile which does not have an error.
Gaile, while Württemberg is correct too, the "Deutscher Bund" is the Confederation Württemberg belonged to. So to add that, is not wrong if the timeframe (1815 through 1866) is correct.
Thank you all for your help.

THANX, Jelena.  As usual, my lack of geography knowledge is showing!  My problem was the recommendation to use Deutscher Bund instead of Wurttemberg, when An agreed that Wurttemberg is the correct country.  In my work, I often enter a country as "Poland, Russian Empire" when the time was appropriate for that.
