I have noticed that there is a "comment" box on some of the Ancestry.com trees. I put in the correct information and what documentation I used and leave it in that "comment" box. It lets others viewing that family tree know that the info isn't correct. I did hear from Ancestry once thanking me for my input. It doesn't help much but it is a start.
