Are Observations With Incorrect Times "Date Inaccurate"

[raymie]

If an observation has an incorrect time listed, should it be marked as having an inaccurate date?

No, see previous discussion:

@tiwane

we added some clarifying text to the Data Quality Assessment pop-up info windo to only use day, month, and year, not time, for the Date is accurate part of the assessment:

the day, month, and/or year do not look accurate (e.g. snow appears in the photo but the date is during summer; do not take time of day into account)

So please don’t vote “No” for “Date is accurate” if the time of day looks off.

Some people don’t necessarily update their camera’s time zones every time they travel.

And sometimes I find the observation for some reason the time I downloaded the photo and not the time I took it.
