For District of Kapunda.

Kapunda (Q2679736) -34.337, 138.916

Town-level approximation for a Kapunda district row; the old pin was in the ACT. The name still needs ', South Australia, Australia' and no trailing period, and rows 8443, 11094, 11051 and 8276 are likely merge targets: left for a follow-up.

For Newton in The Willis, Manchester

lookup_place 'Newton-le-Willows': two Wikidata candidates (Merseyside and North Yorkshire); Nominatim geo hit for 'Newton-le-Willows, Manchester' at 53.45,-2.633.

The record's own 'Manchester' qualifier discriminates in favour of the Merseyside/Lancashire town (historically part of the Manchester conurbation) over the North Yorkshire village of the same name.

For Division of Wentworth, New South Wales, Australia

Wikidata Q2973891 'Wentworth': label 'Wentworth', description 'Australian federal electoral division', instance of Q2713747 (Australian electoral division), P625 -33.883/151.253.

North Bondi (#7837) had been parented under place #10972, itself named 'Wentworth, New South Wales, Australia' but correctly identifying the real western-NSW river town (Wikidata Q3107680, -34.1039/141.9178, at the Murray-Darling junction - used elsewhere in this same run as the historical-link target for 'Junction of the Darling River'). Recolouring #10972 itself to Bondi-area coordinates, as one candidate fix suggested, would have broken that separate, correct identification. Creating a distinct row for the federal Division of Wentworth (the Sydney eastern-suburbs electorate covering Bondi) instead, and reparenting North Bondi onto it, leaves the real Wentworth, NSW untouched.
