Only in February I started to do some curating, and was astonished by the many pages of backlog. Focussing mostly on insects (sometimes other invertebrates) and taxonomy, I found many uncommented flags from 2024 and even 2023 that were easy to resolve.
Something else I find frustrating are the numerous flags that correspond to unobserved taxa. I keep coming across uncommented flags requesting to merge duplicates, synonymize species, or move species to new genera, all with zero observations.
This leaves the question: Do curators put much more effort into adding new species in their group of interest rather than addressing flags?
