For Kings Belt Nr Greenock

lookup_place('Kings Belt') and lookup_place('Kings Belt, South Australia'): no Wikidata or OpenStreetMap/Nominatim match.

A documented absence, not a positive identification - the 'within Greenock' link rests on family context (see place.update note), not a gazetteer hit, so this citation is recorded at quality 1 (questionable).

For Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia

Wikidata Q1074005 'Division of Macquarie': Australian federal electoral division, P625 -33.475/150.642.

Row's Nominatim pin (-29.49/150.11, far north-west NSW) did not match its only child, Londonderry (#901, western Sydney). No other live row is named 'Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia', so this is a direct recolour, not a disguised merge.

Same Wikidata coordinate already cited on sibling row #1043 'Ontario, Canada' (citation #37807: 'The row already carried Q1904 but held 46.0215,-81.739 - a point on Manitoulin Island, not the provincial centroid'). Reused here because Canada West's territory became the province of Ontario at Confederation. The stored coordinate 50.6642,-120.4136 was in interior British Columbia, ~2000km from any Canada West locality; row #1115 'Renfrew, Canada West, Canada' already carries its own citation #50192 establishing Canada West's 1841-1867 lifespan and succession by Ontario.

Fixing this malformed top-level 'AUS' row's own geocode/countryCode; its child 'WA, AUS' (#9985) then geocodes correctly through it. A future merge of #9984 into #1644 may be worth a human's review; not performed here.

Row named 'via Roma, Queensland, Australia' had been geocoded via Nominatim to -28.012481/153.4228775, a NSW-border point 485km from Roma. Its only child, 'Sleepy Creek, via Roma' (#3097), is already correctly cited at the Roma coordinate; this fixes the parent to match.

No Wikidata coordinate exists for the Division itself, so Auburn's own coordinate is substituted as a reasoned judgement call, not a misquote; single child is Newington (#6691).
