Hi, I noticed that the preferred alternative names in English for Fukushima, Japan is different with other prefectures in Japan.

For Fukushima, the preferred alternative names in English is Fukushima-ken now. For other prefectures (e.g: Aomori), the preferred alternative names in English is Aomori.

I would like to correct this uniformity issue and modify the name for Fukushima.
However, I'm new in this service and don't have permission to update the record.

Could someone help me to fix the record?
