Often people vote too soon on the question “Based on the evidence, can the Community Taxon still be confirmed or improved?” in the Data Quality Assessment section (DQA). For example, they add a refining ID, but the community taxon doesn’t yet match their ID, and they say “No, it’s as good as it can …

OK, implemented! [image] Big thanks to Kevin Chen on Github for working on it!

[image] bouteloua: It would need to update whenever the Community Taxon changes. For that matter, shouldn’t all the DQA votes just be cleared and start over if/when the community taxon changes, since all those votes were for different community ID(s)? Or is that what you are saying here?

Speaking as a fairly new user myself, I think a lot of new users don’t understand this question and how it behaves. I’ve seen a couple of observations that would have long ago been research grade at species level except for someone marking this check box - I assume by accident: https://www.inatura…

Hi, I just observed asimilar issue. It is not about users checking the “community taxon ID cannot be improved” box too soon, but forgetting to disagree with a previous ID which has a higher taxonomic resolution before checking it. This I have seen while revising some research-grade observations. Th…

And also the convoluted Ancestor Disagreement, which constantly confuses iNatters. Leaving the CID not where we expect it to be. https://www.inaturalist.org/blog/25514-clarifying-ancestor-disagreements

Made a Github issue here: https://github.com/inaturalist/inaturalist/issues/3990 We decided to split it into a second line, which makes translation much easier.
