Should this location be changed or do we need a location correction to keep it off the suggestions list?

Question

I have a profile coming up under the Georgia, USA suggestions for 645-Death Country not recognized.  I put the words in a search engine and apparently they mean Singapore according to WikiPedia. The location says Xing-ga-po so I understand why it comes up under Georgia.  I just need to get this fixed so that it no longer does report under Georgia, USA.

Comments

I think you can mark the suggestion as false, put an explanation on that form.then the suggestion does not come up again. I have done that with unusual names that are flagged as incorrect.

The profile could use a better bio, there is lots of info on the Wikipedia page.  Interesting guy.

Answer 1

Send a note to Ales, or hopefully, he will see this G2G and add it to his location table

Answer 2

According to wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore

Xing-ga-po is not found on the English page. I am not sure it is an official name of Singapore.

Republic of Singapore

Malay:	Republik Singapura
Mandarin:	新加坡共和国
Tamil:	சிங்கப்பூர் குடியரசு

Comments

I found it on Wikipedia when I did a search for it.  Other than that I know nothing whatsoever about the place.  

It is on the Georgia, USA report for abbreviations, caused by the ga in the name I am sure.  That is why I am trying to find out how we can get it off of the report.

To save other people hunting, perhaps Paula is referring to

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_Singapore#Vietnamese

which mentions Xin-ga-po or Xinh-ga-po (not Xing-ga-po) as names used in the Vietnamese language for what in English is called Singapore.

There is a case under "use their conventions instead of ours" for using the Vietnamese name for the death location of a person whose native language was Vietnamese.

I checked on wt+ and there are only 2 profiles using  Xing-ga-po. https://plus.wikitree.com/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=Xing-ga-po

Jim, Native language applies to the region, not a person. Slovenian emigrants to USA don't use Združene države Amerike (Slovenian for USA) for their death place.
