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.

Sorry, there are lots of problems with the documentation form's handling of non-GB/IE localities. It had gone in correctly as Switzerland, M Bürglen, but you may have problems editing it again currently

P.S. I'm assuming Bürglen, Bern (rather than Bürglen, Zürich) based on the stated locality for Shuttleworth. (Geonames.org is a good info source for foreign localities)
