Could you make a pull request of your changes back to OEB
community? If not, I can help you with it.

Having you on line. I have checked your repository for Czech
Bibles, and I have to say that I am not impressed:

* CR český	Czech	Bible Kralická 1613	Czech Kralická Bible 1613

This is not Bible Kralická 1613 (see Luke 2:1 here and on
https://cs.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_kralick%C3%A1_(1918)/Luk%C3%A1%C5%A1#Kapitola_2.
which is truly the 1613 version). This is a wild combination of
versions 1596 and 1613, which was the first attempt to digitize Bible from 1990s.

* CR Češka	Czech	Nova Bible Kralicka	Czech NBK NT

(just noticing with a smile your wild combinations of labelling
Czech language in Czech, we call it “Český jazyk” or “Čeština”)

This is the draft version of Bible (then just New
Testament) which was in the end published as Bible21
(https://www.bible21.cz/online).

So, my conclusion is that the deduplication should go both
ways. I think both of these are technically suspicious texts and
Crosswire has them better (https://is.gd/CeQjT4). Shouldn’t you
follow your own advice and remove these two from your server?

On the side, not about Czech Bibles:

* CR Romanes	Romanes	Le Devleskero Lav Andre Romaňi Čhib 2019	Romani New Testament

This is absolutely fascinating. I haven’t ever
heard about this translation, and frankly I
didn’t know much about Romani Bibles at all. Even
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_translations_into_Romani
doesn’t know about it. Hmm,
https://ebible.org/find/details.php?id=rmc so Romani language is
not sufficiently stabilized, so Czech Romale won’t understand it?

Best,

Matěj
