I’m wondering if there’s a way to count the number of IDs made by individual identifiers during a specified period of time, like during an ID-a-thon. I can get the overall numbers fairly accurately by just checking at the beginning and end of an event, but some people would like to know their own nu…

Absolutely, Pisum made us a table to orgnanize the results of an API call for just this situation. What follows is a copy of a direct message I sent to @lynnharper in January of 2022, when we were discussing her desire to run an ID-a-thon. Here’s the URL I used to watch the IDblitz results, edite…

Probably not the best way, but if you can make a search parameter that all the observations targeted by the IDathon fall under you could make a project, and use the project stats for IDs? This would only work in a subset of cases though I think. Depending on the group of observations, you might stil…

I’m pretty sure @arboretum_amy knows how – I don’t remember, unfortunately! It’s been a while since I’ve run an event here haha

That’s what I do for the overall numbers, but I haven’t figured out how to break that down to the contributions by each identifier. Is there a way to filter for when an ID was added to an observation? That’s a stumbling block, as far as I can tell.

What’s an ID-a-thon and how do I join one? Are they usually reserved for animals or are some focused on other clades? I’d be interested in a plant ID-a-thon

An ID-a-thon is an identification marathon, where participants work hard to ID as many Needs ID observations as possible in a specified period of time. They certainly aren’t just reserved for animals. We’re not supposed to advertise projects on the form (understandably; otherwise, we’d be flooded w…

[image] [image] This seems like a good enough setup to keep track of the IDs of a few participants. You can check the Research Grade, Needs ID and Captive boxes separately to determine who’s ID’ed the most of each quality grade. With more than say, a dozen participants, the Download option in th…

Meanwhile you can follow IDentifriday where people ask for help (that thread has been allowed to run …)

Thanks, Amy! I’m glad someone has a memory of what you’ve told me before!
