I just created a collection project, and only three of my observations populated there, when I have several others that would fit. Am I limited to how many of my own I can post there until others join? If I am not limited, why does my project not show up in the projects drop-down menu when I try to …

Thanks. I did check the settings, and the locations of the observations that didn’t populate are correct for the project. That’s why I posted here. I can’t figure it out. I posted the observations the same way on the ones that did populate, as the ones that didn’t.

Can you link the project please?

Of course. I should have included that in the original post. :) North Central Florida Mushrooms and Fungi

I see that the place you used has weird borders, it seems some your obs are too north for it, right on the edge.

Ohhh… Yes, I am in an area that gets close to what could be considered NE Florida by some who don’t actually live here. For those of us who live here, this is definitely North Central Florida. Hmm… Not sure what to do about that. Where do you see this border? Where can I access that map?

The easiest thing to do was just change it to ‘Florida’. Thank you so much for your help.

You can add more than one location to your collection if one location doesn’t cover the area you want. I didn’t see your project before you changed it to all of Florida, but I guess you used this location: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=150725 You can start with this location and …

maybe you can download all the kml files defining the border and merge them with a gis program into a new unique kml file? just thinking aloud.

Carrie previously said that you can’t create places that have more than 500000 observations, though it seems like the current limit is 200000 . Under either limit there are too many observations in that ecoregion to create a new place for the whole thing. From iNat’s perspective, it’s much better t…

Limited to adding my own observations to my collection project?

In the project description you can click on the place and there will be a map and species list. You may find another kml file or draw the area as you’d prefer and create a new place.
