I’m having trouble with trying (i.e. cannot figure out how) to add a place around Mexico City to an atlas. there is a single observation that keeps getting un-covered by the atlas selected places.
in the atlas map view, it seems to be inside the iNaturalist place boundary for the Distrito Federal, BUT is just barely outside it if going by the Google Maps boundary:
the canonical place listing for the observation shows it as belonging to a municipio, yet not to a state:
each time I load the atlas page, that municipio shows up as not added to the atlas:
however, when I do add it:
this one particular observation still shows up in the list of observations NOT covered by the atlas, plus when I reload the atlas page, that place (Tlalnepantla de Baz) immediately shows up again as NOT added, despite having literally just added it.
is this an issue with the place polygons? some weird error only particular to this case? help would be appreciated, since if the butterfly identifiers/curators do want to commit the split that depends on this atlas, I don’t want this observation to be bumped to genus for erroneous reasons…
(I apologise if the mention of a specific observation is not allowed due to strict interpretation of forum rules, but I am attempting to help with this record since it is the only one affected by this problem, not calling out the user; there is no issue with the observation itself.)
