This error is not the one that is caused when you have a FAG attached that is associated with a different person. When you are using a FAG citation for a different person, make sure to include the sameas=no in the last part of the FAG Template and that will 'correct' the suggestion. You don't have to use 'False Suggestion' then.
Its like its better to have one profile per person in WikiTree. it is also better to have one entry per person at FindAGrave....
