I’m going to close this request:
-
we plan on adding a merge (and split) tool sooner rather than later, so it will hopefully make merging these easier for the observer.
-
as has been discussed, it’s not a major data issue, although yes, it can certainly be annoying for identifiers.
-
it might be better to tackle this on the upload side, with better onboarding or maybe some sort of automatic tool that checks for photos taken within a few seconds of each other. Our designer is pretty busy with notifications now, but we want to tackle onboarding after that.
-
Things could get messy when the community starts flagging duplicates, i.e. which one is the “original”?
