Files Duplicated

There are a number of duplicate BPLAN files on the wiki, all of which are orphaned, should the duplicated ones be deleted?

Main File Duplicate File Notes
File:Geography 20141214 to 20150516 from 20150302.txt.gz File:20150302 ReferenceData.gz Zipped contents identical
File:Geography 20151213 to 20160514 from 20160126.txt.gz File:20160126 ReferenceData.gz Zipped contents identical
File:Geography 20161211 to 20171209 from 20170124.txt.gz File:20170127 ReferenceData.gz Zipped contents identical
File:Geography 20161211 to 20171209 from 20170823.txt.gz File:20170830 ReferenceData.gz Zipped contents differ, main file does not have 1155 REF+SER records and 9 TLD records (main file also has PIT footer inconsistent with TLD record count). PIF headers for the two files are identical.

Files with PIT record consistency errors

A number of the (non-duplicate) BPLAN data files have PIT record values inconsistent with the contained number of records. Flagging this up here in case a data processing tool upstream has some undetected bugs that is causing these records to be unintentionally dropped. In particular, the 9 missing TLD entries from the File:Geography 20161211 to 20171209 from 20170823.txt.gz file appear to have a character that is only valid in the Windows-1252 encoding, so may cause some tools to reject these entries. (Differences between the 9 missing rows determined via the two different versions of this file published on the wiki, as noted in the previous section).
