When is a plant no longer considered "cultivated?"

Even better would be to increase the reporting and reporting accuracy of captive/cultivated observations by the observer, which is where this discussion began.

Setting aside the issues with wildness definitions, part of the issue is probably the nature of the process. The captive/cultivated check box is a DQA item but it’s a bit of an afterthought, a small checkbox down below Notes and the Location is public/obscured/private setting on the sidebar and not in the individual observation boxes at all for bulk uploaded entries. Moving it to a position between Species Name and Date and/or increasing the checkbox to the same height as the entry boxes for Species, Date and Location would undoubtedly help. Anyway, a simple reminder identifying which DQA items have not been completed before a record is accepted would undoubtedly improve reporting.

It seems that the proposal is just regarding who can edit observation fields. https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/disallow-others-to-edit-your-observation-fields-opt-in/13917
