Related to this, in Explore > Locations, Newfoundland matches a rectangular bounding box that encompasses parts of other provinces. The best match (i.e. least surprising for a Canadian user) should be Newfoundland and Labrador Province:
There is also a Newfoundland, NF, CA Island that would be a good candidate to show near the top of the list:
However, the autocomplete doesn’t show either of the above, which I would’ve assumed would be 1st and 2nd in the list.
As for cleaning up duplicated / useless places, there are these point locations with 0 observations:

- https://www.inaturalist.org/places/atlantic-canada
I’ll follow up with icbryson, the creator of both places, about this.in private message.
And there are these also:

The checklists seem to be subtly different, and most projects reference the second one (with the larger checklist) vs. the 1st one (only one project). I don’t know what to suggest to the place creator (cdorsay for both) to fix this. Ideally, the project that remains should be the one without the ugly hex suffix, but I can’t see at a glance what’s different about that one that changes the checklist length. The maps look virtually identical (though I don’t know how to export / compare). Seems like it would take a lot of coordination with project admins to fix it all up. Ideas?
