Question

On 6 Dec 2022 Cindy (Worley) Beam wrote on White-68730:

I just mistakenly thanked you for changing Sherman General Worley's name. In this instance, "General" is Not a rank. His actual name is General Sherman Worley. He is my Great-Great Uncle. Please make the necessary changes. Thank you

Answer 1

I looked into his name and on his death certificate and obituary written in the newspaper he is known as S.G. Worley. On other documents and websites I checked it is sometimes different when adding "Rev." to his name. Shurman is on his tombstone and that documented is the only error I have found.

Answer 2

Not to be defensive or anything, but I did email Cindy to let her know that I didn’t change anything on this profile, I merely confirmed that ‘General’ was a true part of Mr. Worley’s name.

I’m a Data Doctor working on Suggestion 743 - Prefix in Middle Name.  Because ‘General’ ISN’T a prefix (military rank) for this person, the Suggestion is ‘False’.  Not exactly intuitive, I know.  

So, if you want to ‘tell’ the Suggestions report “This is accurate information - please ignore this,” marking it as ‘Corrected’ won’t do the trick - ‘Corrected’ doesn’t mean the same as correct.  To make these Suggestions go away, mark them ‘False’ - and that’s what I was doing.
