What's going on with https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/410135-Dierama-pendulum @tonyrebelo?
Please explain what you mean?
I mean that Dierama pendulum on iNat has as a synonym Watsonia palustris which on POWO is a homotypic synonym of Watsonia vicschuettei C.J.Potg. & I.M.Johnson
I've added the taxon, I'm still not sure what to do with the synonym listed at https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/410135-Dierama-pendulum it seems wrong
Should I delete the synonym? I think I should
Please dont fiddle, unless you know exactly what is happening. You will just make matters worse.
This is perfectly correct: https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:441964-1 - do not change it.
I didn't mess with it, I asked you if I should. No need to be rude
I was not rude. Please do your homework before suggesting unnecessary and wrong changes.
Asking if it is correct is one thing. To suggest that you should do something "I think I should" without any due diligence is reckless. With curation comes responsibility.
Fine, Tony. We disagree. I did not make a reckless change and I observed due diligence by not making a change that I was not sure of and, instead, asked a question. I see now that I was wrong, thank you for the links and advice. Are you suggesting I didn't observe due diligence?
I didn't make any change because I'm cautious. I asked a question
Sorry: let us not escalate this. Despite an apparent intention, you did not do what you suggested that you might. Hopefully I have sorted out the issues that were confusing you: that there are two unrelated Watsonia palustris and that following your intended course of action would have been a mistake.
This flag is resolved. Satisfactorily
Thanks.
No problem
