# Feed won't validate – XML Code Duplicated

 * Hi guys
    My feed won’t validate. When I look at the error it says ‘XML parsing
   error: <unknown>:69:0: junk after document element’.
 * Line 69 and below is an exact duplicate of the first 68 lines, including the 
   XML declaration.
    Am I able to edit the file and delete the duplicated code? 
   Many thanks Oli

 * Looks like you fixed the duplicate issue. The feed URL still has an HTML comment
   at the bottom, just be aware with the comment at the bottom we’ve found iTunes
   listings in the past can take multiple days to update.
