N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

Still internal problem with country codes.

Site: It looks like a few sheets will need amending, including my own.
Dunkerque is in France, not Belgium, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkirk
and Malo is adjoining (Malo-les-Bains) - not in Brittany. see also:
http://www.villapolis.com/8259P1
Does anyone find it tricky that the French 'counties' on the H@H menu don't match with the Regions or Departments of France

I know I live there, I filled in the sheet in respect of a French site, when I tried to save as it swapped to the next sheet, the Lat/Long and place/country disappeared much as what happens when an unused place name box is open.
When I went back to the sheet and Filled the data in again, it went again only the country box was 'locked' making it impossible to change country's, so I filled in the data in the 'site details' box.
This often happens with non UK country's and is most annoying to say the least.
As to "Malo" this is a very small village in France at
4.46.46,02E
46.35.51,08N at 198m [Malo 71240 Etrigny in the Saône-et-Loire Region, a long way from the sea.
But the sheet refers to "nord Dunkerque dunes" which must as you say be Malo les Bains on the coast the coast though it does not say so, in the Nord Department, 59240, though when I was hunting for a Malo I then copied over the wrong lat/long.

Thanks, I will post this on the queries, as the issues seem worth resolving, some of these foreign sheets are very worthwhile; and can even shed light on British provenance occasionally (as with John Percy)
