Whether it’s the lizard record or the sagebrush record, both of her IDs are Maverick for good reason. They’re simply not correct. ---

Wadda ya say?” ---

i hope this isn’t inappropriate to say, but i think this thread is a good example for why expert credentials should not be given special weight for identifications like some people suggest ---

> [@bobmcd](#): > > if you deselect Verifiable under the Show section so that nothing in that section is selected, Casual observations will now show as well as Verifiable observations. Sorry to go off on a tangent, but does anyone know why it would be considered non-verifiable? It has a date, it has a time, it has media; aren’t those the things needed to make an observation verifiable? Yes, I see the user opted out of community ID, but if community ID had agreed with the observer, the observation could have gone to RG even with opt-out and RG implies verifiable…so what makes it not “verifiable” where you must adjust the filters? ---

“Verifiable” as a name and its use in the filters to show Casual grade observations in addition to Needs ID/Research is a bit of misnomer. Captive/cultivated observations also aren’t considered “verifiable” when, well of course they are verifiable. Here’s the longer definition: [https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/help#quality](https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/help#quality) For tangential discussions, you can use the “reply as a linked topic” option: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/2X/d/d6e210a7043ba8cf7573618ef920e2505f9d5c78.png) ---

Thanks for the info on linking! I’ve seen topics split but never tried it. Re: the filter… But the user’s other 2 casual observations are shown under their observations without having to deselect verifiable. Why does it filter out some casuals but not all? ---

There are many skilled identifiers on iNat for herps for your region, I would trust the community ID. Everyone makes mistakes, even “experts”. The typo in the plant observation is a good example. ---
