<li>Go back in Gaia&rsquo;s batch reports to find records that she indicated for replacing on CGSpace (ie, those with better new copies, new versions, etc)</li>
<li>Looking at the Solr statistics for 2022-03 on CGSpace
<ul>
<li>I see 54.229.218.204 on Amazon AWS made 49,000 requests, some of which with this user agent: <code>Apache-HttpClient/4.5.9 (Java/1.8.0_322)</code>, and many others with a normal browser agent, so that&rsquo;s fishy!</li>
<li>The DSpace agent pattern <code>http.?agent</code> seems to have caught the first ones, but I&rsquo;ll purge the IP ones</li>
<li>I see 40.77.167.80 is Bing or MSN Bot, but using a normal browser user agent, and if I search Solr for <code>dns:*msnbot* AND dns:*.msn.com.</code> I see over 100,000, which is a problem I noticed a few months ago too&hellip;</li>
<li>I extracted the MSN Bot IPs from Solr using an IP facet, then used the <code>check-spider-ip-hits.sh</code> script to purge them</li>

<li>Looking at the countries on AReS I decided to collect a list to remind Jacquie at WorldFish again about how many incorrect ones they have
<ul>
<li>There are about sixty incorrect ones, some of which I can correct via the value mappings on AReS, but most I can&rsquo;t</li>
<li>I set up value mappings for seventeen countries, then sent another sixty or so to Jacquie and Salem to hopefully delete</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I notice we have over 1,000 items with region <code>Africa South of Sahara</code>
<ul>
<li>I am surprised to see these because we did a mass migration to <code>Sub-Saharan Africa</code> in 2020-10 when we aligned to UN M.49</li>
<li>Oh! It seems I used a capital O in <code>Of</code>!</li>
<li>This is curious, I see we missed <code>East Asia</code> and <code>Northern America</code>, because those are still in our list, but UN M.49 uses <code>Eastern Asia</code> and <code>Northern America</code>&hellip; I will have to raise that with Peter and Abenet later</li>
<li>For now I will just re-run my fixes:</li>
