Hi Janet, Thank you for joining our one world family tree!

As far as I know, you would have to edit the information on each WikiTree profile involved.  I don't know of any way to automatically update the WikiTree data from the FindAGrave data.  So, you would do two things: suggest the correction on FindAGrave and edit the WikiTree profile.

And I think it would be really bad to automate updating WT based on Find A Grave data. We usually have better and / or more data. WT is geared towards actually doing genealogy. Find A Grave's mission is just for memorials.
I agree. Lately I've had a significant number of Find-a-Grave errors, mostly due to the FaG memorials not being based on gravestones but on a Ancestry tree that got copied over.

If I understand your question correctly...

There was an "error suggestion" that something didn't match between wikitree and findagrave on one of your profiles.

...so you made the correction on the findagrave side.

The suggestions report is re-calculated once each week...so next week it will pick up your changes.
