The only disruption that I am aware of, and I only became aware accidentally, is that sometimes my Identifications become Mavericks without my knowing due to taxonomic changes.
@vreinkymov posted this:
For anyone else who makes mistakes and forgets to check them when corrected, these two URLs are useful (replace with your username):
Uncorrected Misidentifications:
Withdrawn Misidentifications:
I’m not sure what correcting the ones in the first URL is called, but I call it doing a “maverick sweep” and it’s worth reviewing it every month or two.
in another thread (now closed) and when I entered my own name I became aware of this foible.
At the time I fixed all my Maverick IDs and made a mental note to check those links periodically but promptly forgot until now, so perhaps I have new Mavericks due to new taxonomic changes. (I will check again after posting. Whee!)
Otherwise taxonomic changes don’t affect me much.
