So what's the difference between a yellow triangle, that offers an alternate name, and a little bubble with a profiled head and a plus sign, that offers an alternate name? Because those, you can read the person who made the correction and contact them.

The yellow triangles seem to be where the site's own transcribers thought the name could be read more than one way.
