What does "clean-up" mean? How did you handle them?

I assigned continent to all geography records where there was only one, based on the references in the first comment. Note that the list of country codes in that comment is just a checklist for countries for which to check. Distinct geography records with those country codes might differ in continent assignment. We standardize geography as an entity, not field by field within those that make up geography (continent, country, stateProvince, county, municipality, waterbody, islandGroup, island - all as defined by Darwin Core).
