Decolonization of Common Names

Thanks for the link.

I had treated this current discussion as one about naming conventions in general, but as it relates to iNaturalist, I do think that the system works fine as is, and that unilaterally renaming species on the basis of ‘decolonisation’, on iNaturalist, would ignite a political controversy that iNaturalist does not need or want.

If the name is changed by the expert groups who are the authorities on taxonomy due to such campaigns, then so be it. Until then, retain the formal names that have been set for the species in question.
