UPDATE - if this sounds like too much work @ mention me in a comment - with the placeholder. I love ‘adding’ new species to the gaps on the map.
- Missing species. Again - check notes and placeholder for missing species. If the name seems plausible, use Google to check for forgiveness for tiny typos (iNat is uncompromising for even one letter missing or superfluous to requirements) iNat uses POWO so find that LINK to make life easy for curators.
Random example which I hope to see in the next CV update (the ultimate reward for helping those missing species)
Go to the available broader taxon. Add that broader ID. Comment - Flagged for missing species. Flag … wait. If the 24/7 is right sometimes it is added immediately, thanks to active curators.
I don’t add common names, I defer to local and language people.
