There are a number of observations with these coordinates (0,0). Perhaps these could be bulk edited to be set as location inaccurate? Thanks

Interesting thanks. That is something that should be changed then, Null should not be the same as 0,0.

[image] alexanderr: There are a number of observations with these coordinates (0,0). Perhaps these could be bulk edited to be set as location inaccurate? This seems like a good idea. The “Null” project, as someone mentioned, captures these, but it does not capture observations with location (…

I went and left a comment with instructions as well as voting no to the location is accurate on the records which were : research grade, birds, reptiles or mammals (I grew tired of the repetition, so others can try other families) The reality is almost all of these come from users who use the mob…

Thanks Chris. I have done the same with the rest of the Research Grade observations there for other taxa. One other thing I noticed: observations stay in the “NULL” project even after their location has been fixed . It would be good to convert the NULL project to a collection project, an option whic…

I will look into this. Thanks for the notification!

I updated the project – it now also includes observations that are auto-obscured and marked at Lat/Long (0,0).

FWIW I was recently alerted by someone commenting in half a dozen of my obs that they were in the null project. I had no idea they were there, and missing from their collection Projects. After that I searched for any more in the null Project, but it would have been good to know straight away. And I …

[image] silversea_starsong: it now also includes observations that are auto-obscured Great! Does that mean that if due to a Conservation status something becomes auto-obscured, we will see it in the Null Project?

I checked in again in the region of 0,0 and 13 observations had reached Research Grade in the last week: about two per day. I’ve marked them as location inaccurate with a note to the observer, but if anyone else wants to check in periodically to do the same, you can do so here . All but one of these…

I added this as one of the ways to help out on iNat, as well as drafted some example text to leave for users who mistakenly saved their obs at 0,0:
