+Staffan I. Lindberg, and hundreds of country specialists
Why this is better
Verified live: body content already correctly states the Hungary reclassification occurred in 2020, and the duplicated 'Lindberg, Staffan I. Lindberg' has already been fixed to a single 'Staffan I. Lindberg' mention. FAQ field mentions Hungary and Lindberg only in unrelated, correctly-stated contexts (a 2006-2022 Freedom House decline range, and V-Dem's Lindberg/Luhrmann authorship without the duplication). No further action needed.
