Bismarck, South Australia, Australia

Historical place· 1918 city -34.929, 138.544

Renamed Brooklyn Park, South Australia, Australia

Bismarck, SA was renamed Weeroopa under the Jan-1918 SA Nomenclature Act, then Brooklyn Park in 1944 (State Library of SA). Row's event (BIRT 1877) predates renaming so keeps 'Bismarck' as recorded. Cleared QID Q150857 = the WWII battleship Bismarck's wreck coordinates (48°10'N16°12'W matches the stored bogus lat/lon exactly), unrelated to this place.

Modern place Brooklyn Park, South Australia, Australia (id 22600) is geocoded -34.9289/138.5439 (manual, Q4974883); this row (Bismarck, SA, historical, modernPlaceId already 22600) still held the German battleship Bismarck's Atlantic wreck coordinates (48.1667/-16.2, ex-Q150857) in its own geocode block.

Completing a half-applied fix: the row was already correctly linked to its modern place but the row's own lat/lon and wikipediaUrl had not been cleared/reset to match.
