Why do you object to this? We are who we are - we are our maiden names. This is what makes it so difficult to trace a woman. Custom says we are known by our married names, but this cannot trace our parent's as their name is now different from ours. I think both should be used on the census!

There is a problem when people include a "maiden name" addition without the knowledge to make it accurate (i.e. matching to a re-married mother's name, for instance).
There's another problem I've seen where a correction, which is valid for one person in a group, gets applied to all of them, even when it shouldn't be. Unfortunately, I'm not sure whether that did happen to any of the corrections I made, or whether others had submitted corrections without understanding (?or caring?) how the multiple bit was supposed to work.
