Most of these 9,500 observations are being pushed to high rank phylogenetic projects.
An example of a high rank IDed observation pushed to a low(er) rank phylogenetic project:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/144139027
Presently identified as Order Lamiales (Community Taxon), it has been pushed to the Family Pedaliaceae project. This looks good, as this observation has 2 IDs Genus Sesamum, and this genus is actually in the Family Pedaliaceae.
BTW, @dianastuder , this observation is also an example of a pre-maverick. I hypothesize that this suggestion from @tonyrebelo will help finding pre-maverick observations.
Toward a Pre-Maverick project? With an URL for identifying the pre-maverick observations in the project, filtering out observations that are have become “Research Grade”.
It would be simpler (again) if iNat could provide a search for pre-maverik observations (observations that can, with one more ID, become Maverick). New feature request (impacting the database)? Who will use it?
