Please review the three current observation claims and the separate place-context check below. A factual reply is not endorsement of Daruma Atlas, another regional file or the 3D collection.

## Supplemental context check — Taketa and Matsuyama name-and-place distinction

- Check ID: `hime-name-place-distinction`
- Current statement: The Atlas 3D file represents Taketa, Oita. Matsuyama, Ehime is a separate source-only record and has no Atlas 3D file.
- Review question: Is it correct to keep these as separate place records and to limit the current 3D interpretation to Taketa?
