This is a huge issue with new users and some kind of a merge tool woulda been really useful.
When i encounter this problem (user has uploaded every picture of the same species as separate observation or several specimen of the same species, pictures of which were taken in close proximity to each other on the same day, as a separate observations), i usually leave a comment, bit if user does not use the web platform it becomes pointless errand. This can get a bit frustrating, since it’s just littering the database as far as i’m concerned.
