There was a discussion about this recently. The thread was closed because it was not considered by the moderators to be doing any good; but one thing in it that I had wanted to address is pertinent here. One person oblected that the way iNaturalist handles the taxon changes constitutes falsifying data. I knew immediately what he meant, but nobody else picked up on it, and the thread was closed before I could comment. Here is an example:
In this screenshot, the part circled in red is a false statement: jennpo did not suggest an ID of Heptapleurum actinophyllum. A true statement would be “iNaturalist changed an ID.” Now, maybe most of you don’t mind having these changes attributed to you, and maybe you think it is a small thing; but it obviously mattered to the person who brought up falsification of data.
