i went out to the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine to see if those pages were archived. one already was, and i just saved the other one. it wouldn’t be a terrible idea for someone to create a third-party site where folks could submit significant iNaturalist records (and potentially records from other places, too), with explanations of why they are significant, and after review, it could save those either in that third-party site (if licenses allow) or in the Wayback Machine or both. it would be nice be able to see a list of significant observations like that, with explanations of why they are significant.
but that’s beyond the scope of this topic.
