2 songs (9379 and 9298) had incorrect lat-lons in southern Norway when the location name was listed as "Norwegian Lapland, Northern Norway." Upon looking at the liner notes, and the song descriptions in our metadata, I see that most of the songs assigned to this society are either from Kautokeino or Karasjok, but the lat-lons we currently have correspond with Finnmark generally. I think it makes sense to use the lat-lons for the specific villages here, because the liner notes make it clear that these villages have different styles of joik singing. We already identify the villages by name in the notes so revealing a location that should be kept secret doesn't seem like a big risk here.
So, my suggestion is to correct the location names and lat-lons to correspond with those given in the liner notes.
