Suggestions report still shows error on Rider-906 for "Junior" as their Nickname.  3 Status notes about this being their real name still shows error.  Need to be able to resolve this.

If his nickname (as opposed to part of his formal name) was actually Junior, just mark the suggestion as false and note in the comment that it was a nickname and not a suffix.

Edited to add:  But when I look at the suggestion, it refers to a prefix and not a suffix, which is odd, and I also see that he has a suffix of Sr., which might be confusing to some readers.  That might be worth a note in the biography.

Well, sorry...I won't disrupt the flow of discussion by editing my answer, but I've changed my mind.  You (or someone) have already commented in the biography that he was called both Junior and Senior.  From that, and given the period, I'm guessing that Junior really was not a nickname, and I'd remove it as one.  I'd consider also removing the Sr. as a suffix, because that seems incomplete, and simply rely on the explanation in the narrative.

I marked it as a False Suggestion and it is gone now. Posting a comment on the suggestion doesn't make it go away. You have to select the option to mark it as False.

Hi Sandra,

I Edited this profile since it was one I adopted with a note in the bio. He wasn’t a junior, his father was not a senior. However there was an older man with the same name who was older in the same community so he was called Junior and the older man Senior. I guess if he was called The Younger no problems. He could be labeled I as in first and his son II if that would fix the error.
