Project numbers changing after project period.

You may note that observation, observers and species totals change after the City Nature Challenge is complete.

The final tally for this, and all projects in the CNC is a snapshot at the respective cut-off time.

OBSERATIONS:
Observations taken over the 4-day period and uploaded after the additional grace period do still reflect in the project. Thus, the project will collect all information until everyone has finished their uploads.
Please, do not go and delete those observations now, or stop your uploads. They may not have counted for the CNC but are still valuable information.
There is no “Added By” cut-off date in the project. Thus, the project still includes these late observations.

Also, observers may have deleted an observation which was a duplicate or made some other form of correction which will also reflect on the project.

SPECIES:
Species are still been verified over time.
Of the 19977 observations, 10776 achieved research grade so far. So, as time goes by, and experts carry on doing identifications this number will change.

OBSERVERS:
An observer may have incorrectly placed an observation within the project, and later corrected this error. After the correction, the observers’ numbers will also change, and this would also affect the total observations for the period.

No one has control over any user amending or deleting their observations over time.
