Season 13 - ep5 thru 14

Seems like we need to correct these...wikipedia and tvdb show a different order than ours...but there is a diff on numbering due to the Abe Lincoln series. Also, hurricane of 38 should not be in season 13...its showing as duplicate with season 6..so we just need to delete it in season 12.
Can someone remove hurricane and correct the order of the episodes in season 12?
I would if I have the proper access...not sure if I do.

Please clearly explain what you're asking and why. The order should match the one used by PBS at the time of release, not Wikipedia/TVDB.

Understand that wikipedia is not an official source...however in this case, the wikipedia entry/airdate is the same as the PBS source.
For Streamliners (currently listed twice on our page)...please delete the entry for episode 16...the pbs link below shows airdate of Feb 5, 2001. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/streamliners/
For the Abe Lincoln:House Divided episodes...please delete the entries for episode 10, 11, and 12....as these are duplicates from 7, 8 and 9. Assuming episodes are defined by airdate....then there are not 6 episodes of 1 hr each, there are actually 3 episodes of 2 hrs each. PBS broadcasted the 6 episodes, 2 episodes per night on Feb 19, 20 and 21, 2001, resulting in 3 parts/episodes...as evidenced by below link. https://variety.com/2001/tv/reviews/abraham-and-mary-lincoln-a-house-divided-1200466780/ The official PBS link only shows Feb 19, 2001 for original air date ... as they have since then re-broadcasted the 6 parts in 1hr per night...but originally was over 3 nights, 2 hrs each.
Once the above actions are taken, then the remaining episodes should be re-ordered as follows:
Scottsboro: An American Tragedy as number 10 Fatal Flood as number 11 Stephen Foster as number 12
