When a taxon change to a taxon with more than 200,000 observations has consensus to be implemented, how do we actually request for it to be implemented? Is there some designated staff person for us to ping or some other workflow we’re supposed to follow in those cases? I couldn’t find any documentation about this.

On the taxon page, there’s a dropdown menu titled “Curation” – on that menu, there’s a spot to “Flag for Curation”
I’m talking about changes that already have flags and the discussion in the flag has consensus to move forward, but the action can’t be taken because it requires staff priviledges.

I would email staff and/or tag loarie.

I tried pinging @loarie, but no response. Is anyone else able to help with such requests?

@loarie - Just wondering if it would be possible to move forward with https://www.inaturalist.org/flags/616388.

I’m beginning to be tired of the gentle approach falling on deaf ears. There’s a flag with discussion, context and proposal for next steps, all it needs is a commitment for resolution. The practicalities of such an update is something that any of the vast multitude of even the most inexperienced curators could enact, but of course, any subsequent steps would be best done at discretion and timeline of the management
