There’s a particular user who had added a bunch of problematic common names to a particular class of organisms. A few of us have noticed and have been getting them removed on an “as-encountered” basis, but I thought it might be a good idea to look at all of that user’s changes, so they can be addres…

You can use the filters on the left side of https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon_changes

Hmm, that doesn’t seem to show common name changes. Or if it does, I can’t figure out how to get it to show them :laughing:

Hah, sorry, I read taxon name change and my brain shortened it to taxon change. If the user added the names new to iNat and didn’t simply swap the default order, you can view the contributor name in the export linked here: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/using-sql-to-query-inats-dwca-taxonomy-expor…

Where is the actual link to the data? Your comment links to a thread with a lot of links in it

? the post I linked to has a single link in it

Oh you mean the zip file in the original post?
