How do I verify an observation of something that cannot be independently verified?

I’m not making any commentary on this particular observation, but there are a significant number of subspecies level identifications done on the site solely based on range as documented in some external source. To my mind, those in particular require extra care and scrutiny.

This is why I do not want to click “I Agree.” Apparently, this subspecies only occurs in Kyrgyzstan/Kazakhstan. I even said this on my messages.
