Could a FindaGrave member try to get date on a memorial corrected? [closed]

Question

This memorial for Thomas Linnett gives a birth year of 1864. The gravestone says he died in 1924 aged 80. About 1844 is the correct year ( he was 7 at the 1851 census and married in 1867).

Someone else added the FaG memorial to his profile. I've made the resultant suggestion false but it is the right gravestone, just a wrongly calculated birth year.

Edited typo

Helen, you had me scratching my head about neither 1864 nor 1844 seeming to be possible correct birth years with that death year.  Mystery solved - I looked at the profile and the gravestone says he died 1924, so you need to fix the typo in the death year in this question.

Thanks Gail, have done

Answer 1

I just did a quick look, someone has made the suggestion to correct the birth year..

Hi Luther, when I check  it's still 1864 not 1844.

Edit  Ah just realised you said someone has suggested the change. I can't see that. Thank you. And thank you to the person who suggested it.

Helen,

I don't know when this suggestion was made, but here is how Find A Grave works. Suggestion made, Memorial manager sees it and changes it. OR, Memorial manager does not see it. 21 days later, change is auto approved. Therefore, as you check on it, it may be as long as 21 days (7 Dec?) before you see the change.

That particular memorial manager is either very slow on approving edits, or allows them  to default to auto-approve.  (I have yet to figure out which.)

Thank you, I rarely look at Find a Grave (no-one in my family except those that emigrated like this one had gravestones)

I'll wait  and try to remember to check. The manager of this memorial didn't take the photo so that may be why the two don't correspond. I notice he manages over 200,000 memorials. That would seem to be an impossible task.

Edit. checked again tis done!

Thank you for the Star, Helen.
