Features are not independant from each other and part of the solution for “users not marking observations as cultivated” relies in this already approved feature request: Notify observer when another user marks something in the DQA section. DQA notifications would help beginners to learn about the “Wild”/“Captive” distinction and about the DQA flags, without too much work.
I understand that @erwin_pteridophilos is tired of always explaining the same thing.
With DQA notifications, just flag the observation as “Organism is wild”/No and let the observer get the explanation.
When I was a total newbie, I posted 60 observations from a botanical trail. It is sure that all these plants are wild, despite the labels reminding a botanical garden. Someone (I still don’t know who, I would like to tell him/her) flagged them as “Organism is wild”/No and, without knowing the existence of the DQA section, I believed that some AI changed the observations status because of the labels pictures. I was disappointed because I didn’t know how to correct that, still seeing that I did not check “Was it captive / cultivated?”. Much later, I noticed the “Organism is wild” DQA flag, I checked it the other way, so that now it shows 1/1 votes and the observations are not “Casual” anymore.
