For this one I might vote for 634024 since it has the most attachments (697277=9, 634023=207, 634024=370, 208328=17 unless there are some I can't see). I would copy the coordinates over from 208328 but I would vote for them being converted to m instead of km since our IPT uses the Darwin Core field "coordinateUncertaintyInMeters" but maybe that's opening up another topic.

If someone else wants to preserve a different one, that's fine by me as long as it ends up with "Province", diacritics, and coordinates.

Fishes would obviously vote for 634023 since less work for us but . . . We don't typically use the diacritics (though could use cleanup -typically is operative word) - they are a pain but in reality whatever works for group. Pick a master and we will move to that.
Agree - coordinates added to whatever master is picked. And the use of m preferred to km.
