Correcting information on Facebook for automatically created page

January 10, 2020 1:01 AM

The Facebook page for the local railway station has the incorrect phone number listed. I believe this an automatically created page and there's no admin for it as such? I've suggested an edit but this doesn't seem to have done anything. How do I go about getting this fixed?

How long ago did you suggest it? I've sent in corrections to FB pages and only after a month or more gotten the little 'thanks, we fixed it' message.

Are the OpenStreetMap metadata correct for the station? FB has been known to harvest OSM data for their pages

Response by poster: It's only been a week or so since I sent a correction so it may be a matter of just waiting, although from perusing the page people have been complaining about it since 2017. (they may have not actually done anything about it though)
