Just noticed that there are currently 3,283 RG or Needs-ID observations that are also marked Captive/Cultivated, something that shouldn’t be able to happen:

[https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?verifiable=true&captive=true&place\_id=any](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?verifiable=true&captive=true&place_id=any)

This appears to be a simple indexing failure. If I add another vote for Captive, or otherwise vote then unvote any other DQA, the observation reindexes and becomes Casual.

Unfortunately `verifiable=true&captive=true` can’t co-exist in the Identify filters, so the only way to find and fix these is with the above Explore search, then visit the observations one at a time.

Adding this to the wiki…

Looks like [these were batch reindexed](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/many-observations-are-simultaneously-captive-eligible-for-research-grade/8450/9) (?) and are now fixed : )

@minhkhang when adding

> - Add photos to iNat from other sources

was that in reference to

> - Assign high quality default photos on taxon pages

or something else? Thanks!
