Description

For the topic https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q991 the tool suggests a statement with qualifier:

spouse Anna Dostoyevskaya
location Trinity Cathedral

which is a more precise version of an existing statement:

spouse Anna Dostoyevskaya

This leaves the user with the unhappy choice of deleting the existing statement and accepting the suggestion or marking the suggestion "bad" then manually editing the existing statement to match the suggestion they just rejected. This both creates more work for the user and provides inaccurate feedback.
