General discussion

It has just been brought to my attention that I may be causing duplicate records - recording both on iRecord and iNaturalist. I had been partly using iNaturalist as a way to check / verify some identifications before recording here - however if this causes duplicate this is obvioulsy not desirable (I have different "names" on each platform too). The particular record where this was flagged up was a Merodon equestris - so is this applicable ACROSS SPECIES? Any info / suggestions would be very welcome. Thanks, Mac.

I was wondering if you can make it possible for me to add Neotiella albocincta after recently receiving confirmation that this is the first British specimen found - any hely would be grand.

Evening

I entered a casual record yesterday and on reviewing it noted the Vice county cell did not represent North Wiltshire. I went back to edit mode and did not find the cell to enter it manually. Has anyone else encountered this and if so what is the solution please? 

Thank you for your time

When viewing records in "list view" (Explore my records) there is usually an option to click on to edit the record (rather than just view it). But for about half my records this option (button) is not showing, so I can't edit the record in any way. This is for a variety of taxa (possibly more typical for less well recorded taxa). Is this a glitch? Has anyone else encountered this issue?

When I submit a record, I will sometimes look to see how many records have been submitted of that species and have noticed a number of duplicate/identical records. For example, today I submitted a record of Crataerina hirundinis and when I looked at ''Accepted as correct records only'' it is showing 25 records, but two records appear to be duplicated, showing the same dates and photos. I have also noticed on occasions that some people are using the same photos for different records.

Hello,

I´m coordinating the Portuguese moth Recording scheme and I was wondering if iRecord could be used to accommodate our project in Portugal?

Thank you.

If I want to write an article about, say, Dragonflies in my area by using the records on iRecord, can I credit the recorders by name for each record? Or do you need people's express permission to use their names in a publication?

Hi, has anyone had notification of verified records with errors in them? I recently had a record marked as incorrect. The image attached and the original record I posted as a Small Blue butterfly (which was correct). The record was rejected with text stating that the butterfly was not a Small Heath but probably a Speckled Wood. I received two notifications for the same record too, one marked as accepted even though it had a comment against it that said it had been misidentified, all a bit of a muddle really. 

Clicking on a point on the Dashboard doesn't seem to  bring up the records for the week in question. e.g. I click on 3 weeks ago and it lists records from August.

Hi,

I'm not sure how to address the matter in the subject line.

I have been seeing various crab spiders (misumena vatia I believe) in and around my garden in the past couple of years. My neighbour, who is an ecologist, has also seen them around over a longer period ( he's much more observant than I am)

So, How does an item with that description progress beyond the " grid outside modern range" response?

ptThanks
