Observations with locations at 0,0

General
16

As mentioned here, there seems to be somewhat of an influx of observations at 0,0. To help fix these:

  1. Go to this link: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?reviewed=any&quality_grade=research%2Cneeds_id&order=asc&project_id=null
  2. Click the first image to open the Identify modal
  3. Click the “Data Quality” tab
  4. Give it a thumbs down next to “Location is accurate”
  5. Go back to info and inform the user their location is inaccurate. Here’s the text I use below, but feel free to modify it of course:

Hi, it looks like the location was accidentally saved at coordinates 0,0 — in the Atlantic Ocean! :) To add a location, click the “Edit” button, and use the map to drop a push-pin to more accurately depict where you were when you made this observation. Even just a general location is helpful. For now, I marked this observation as having an incorrect location in the Data Quality Assessment section, so please reply here letting me know once you’ve fixed it. Thanks!
