Etiquette around Annotations and Observation Fields

Something to keep in mind: if you’re adding annotations please be responsive if people end up tagging you to change them! There’s no way to “fix” an annotation if someone has entered it wrong (e.g., marked a photo showing a clear female as “male” or “cannot be determined”), we can only downvote. I wish community logic applied to those (here’s a relevant feature request: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/apply-community-consensus-logic-to-annotations-in-the-same-way-as-for-ids/12075), but so far it’s not the way iNat works.
