That’s so fair! Being strictly marine, I think that’s why I “only” have around 1,700 pages of unreviewed barnacles.
I did it recently
At some point during CNC I crossed the 100,000 ID’s mark! I wasn’t keeping track of my ID count during my recent spree, so I’m about 2,000 ID’s over that now. Oops!
Just reached 7,500 observations. Still working on uploading things from gall week.

Just hit 1,000 observations, 534 species, 22,898 ids (must be only 21,898 for others) and 337 annotations. Hoping to hit 1,000 species by year end.
The number on your profile doesn’t include your own observations. You can see all the observations you have IDed for other people here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?ident_user_id=bill_knapp¬_user_id=bill_knapp&place_id=any&verifiable=any
Thank you.
A joint achievement rather than an individual milestone, but today, the RG for Australian Loranthaceae nudged past 90% for the first time.
Wanted to share some statistics I’m proud of! Heavy identification of my primary genus Populus was something I picked up about two years ago. Since then:
I have identified 20% of the total 60K research grade P. tremuloides. There are 8800ish left, right now. I’m hoping to drop that by half, plus the yearly summer observations!
25% of the 17k P. grandidentata. Just under 4k Left, hope to finish that this year!
15% of the 8.5k P. balsamifera. There’s almost that many needing identification still, so I plan to tackle that if I get time!
Among other species, that puts me around a 16% contribution to the 150k~ genus Populus observations!
Another little bit is that I started playing with a method for annotating quickly, and was able to hit 1400!
No.. But that would be very useful in addition! Thank you for sharing that!
I set up macros, and I have a mouse with many buttons, on it. So I can basically annotate with just my thumb.

(Verifiable observations only. When I realized I was getting close to both milestones, I fudged a bit and refrained from uploading some familiar species to get the numbers to sync up, if only briefly.)
so many 20k annotations! thank you all!
