Hi, I registered an app some time ago and now I want to update the referrer URL but I get this message: “In order to submit an application your account must be at least 2 months old and must have made at least 10 improving identifications in the last month.”
This has no sense to me. I’m a IT developer and I do not now much about nature so to me this is a not possible to fulfil!. As a developer I stimulate others to provide observations but I do not contribute myself.
Please, please, can you provide a solution that allows me to continue my development? Why a developer need to contribute observations?.
The iNaturalist requests that to create of modify a registered app I have this new requirements: “In order to submit an application your account must be at least 2 months old and must have made at least 10 improving identifications in the last month”. The last condition is very difficult for me. I’m an app developer and not a naturalist so I do not active participate in the observation gathering.
Is there a way to get an exception to this rule to be able to modify the registration of my app?. I’m stack because my website url changed and I cannot change it in the registration and the new conditions do not allow me to solve the ussue. Thanks for your help
An initial ID on an unknown is a leading ID, not an improving ID. To get improving, another person has to agree with the same taxon or a descendant taxon. So you should choose observations that are likely to get follow-up IDs, like birds, mammals, butterflies, etc.
