Conservation status attributed to wrong user

The taxon edit page has long said it would list you as the source of a conservation status if you left it blank, but it never actually did. Now it does:

I did this as a test and then deleted the status that I had added. Before I deleted it, I noticed that I am now attributed as the source of the conservation status for Ontario that I didn’t add or edit:


(“Added by bouteloua” is incorrect)

Looks like this is still happening. I don’t really want to be listed as the person responsible for adding what I consider to be inappropriate taxon geoprivacy settings, nor to be construed as changing settings that are meant to be left to the Canadian network partners. @kueda can you take a look? Thanks!

Look taken, bug fixed, damage done… tough to undo, probably impossible without deleting some legitimate associations between statuses and users, though I suspect that would do more good than harm. Will consider next week. Sorry about this, very much my fault.

Thanks for the fix!

I’ve cleaned up as much of the data as I can. If you’re finding any more erroneous attributions, I’ll need to fix them on a case by case basis. Again, sorry about this.

Thanks again, I really appreciate it!
