Does the help page for cemetery categories need a small tweek?

Should additional guidance be given on the help page for rural locations to help prevent incorrect categories from being written?

 

Admittedly I can be dense. I though I had written the categories for some rural cemeteries correctly but one was quickly corrected. It was explained that the location I used was a geological feature not a location, and the other category I had written was correct because the cemetery was located in the City of Hurricane. It is not in the city of Hurricane but I had used the location that FAG uses, because the location name for this area is no longer in use and would have caused confusion had I used it. The explanation I had given for the location was deleted from the category page.

When I wrote that Mount Moriah Cemetery  was in Hurricane I, too, was going by FAG.

James,

My cemetery is considered to be in the city of Kissimmee, Osceola County, Florida, but the cemetery sits in the small town of Poinciana which was incorporated into Kissimmee's zip code.  Poinciana now has sufficient enough population to warrant it's own zip code,but Kissimmee keeps voting our separation down.  I have labeled my Cemetery as Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Poinciana, Florida and where the county name is involved I write Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Poinciana (Kissimmee), Osceola, Florida.

The cemetery actually resides in Poinciana and Poinciana is listed on maps as Poinciana.
