<li>Help CCAFS with regenerating some item thumbnails after they uploaded new PDFs to some items on CGSpace</li>
<li>A user on the dspace-tech mailing list offered some suggestions for troubleshooting the problem with the inability to delete certain items
<ul>
<li>Apparently if the item is in the <code>workflowitem</code> table it is submitted to a workflow</li>
<li>And if it is in the <code>workspaceitem</code> table it is in the pre-submitted state</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The item seems to be in a pre-submitted state, so I tried to delete it from there:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>dspace=# DELETE FROM workspaceitem WHERE item_id=74648;
DELETE 1
</code></pre><ul>
<li>But after this I tried to delete the item from the XMLUI and it is <em>still</em> present&hellip;</li>

<li>I checked IITA&rsquo;s 259 Feb 14 records from last month for duplicates using Atmire&rsquo;s Duplicate Checker on a fresh snapshot of CGSpace on my local machine and everything looks good</li>
<li>I am now only waiting to hear from her about where the items should go, though I assume Journal Articles go to IITA Journal Articles collection, etc&hellip;</li>
<li>Looking at the other half of Udana&rsquo;s WLE records from 2018-11
<ul>
<li>I finished the ones for Restoring Degraded Landscapes (RDL), but these are for Variability, Risks and Competing Uses (VRC)</li>
<li>I did the usual cleanups for whitespace, added regions where they made sense for certain countries, cleaned up the DOI link formats, added rights information based on the publications page for a few items</li>
<li>Most worryingly, there are encoding errors in the abstracts for eleven items, for example:</li>
<li>68.15% � 9.45 instead of 68.15% ± 9.45</li>
<li>2003�2013 instead of 2003–2013</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I think I will need to ask Udana to re-copy and paste the abstracts with more care using Google Docs</li>
