similar to how others use other resources like google street view, often, i’ll reference other observations with better photos as evidence for observations with poor quality photos, if i can logically tie them together. for example, this observation of a pileated woodpecker (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/21242065) with a grainy photo taken on a phone from a long distance probably was never going to achieve a research grade on its own, but i bumped it up to research grade based on another observation that was made roughly around the same time in the same location.
