Atttention and IMPORTANT - remove all observations seen before 1 March 2022

HI all - make sure all your observations added to this project were seen within the time period March 1 - May 15, 2022. RIght now we have several observations that were seen before this project started, so the numbers are not correct.

What do those two numbers represent?

Please also tell us exactly how to batch remove the wrong observations from the project. Thanks.

@zitserm -- I think the first number is the number of incorrect observations each person has, and the second number is the number of extra species those observations represent.

I just checked through all my observations in the project, filtered for just the months of march and april and then manually scrolling through all observations, and could not find any. However, I did have a similar number of obscured observations entered in the first week of march. Since obscuration now alters the displayed date, could this be causing some obscured observations in the project from early march to appear as being observed prior to March 1?

I'm struggling to find another explanation as to how I would currently have 57 observations incorrectly added to the project that I can't find. The large number of both observations and users in question (many of whom are longtime participants very familiar with the timeframe and rules) also suggests to me that there's something like that going on here, rather than all of them truly being incorrect inclusions.

*I mean I filtered to only include observations NOT made in march and april, in which I was not able to find any incorrectly added observations.

I fixed it - when I did the initial search I accidentally included March 1 :) Sorry, I make mistakes too. I deleted the list, it was completely inaccurate!

The first number was the number of observations and the second was number of species.

@zitsem I think you have two left. I am helping Susan with her extra additions.

My apologies @er1kksen ! Your observations are fine.

Posted by vilseskog about 2 years ago

Ah, that makes sense! Glad it's all cleared up.

Posted by er1kksen about 2 years ago

I thought something strange like that was going on, as well! : ) I had made mistakes before, which another user had pointed out to me, but I thought I had fixed them all. @vilseskog Would you mind showing me the two observations that you think I have that are out of the date range, if you have them handy? It's possible I missed a couple. Thanks.

You are good now, @zitserm! I removed them earlier.

Now it is just a few observations by @rogerbirkhead and @lindazenkert that need to be removed.

Thanks @susanhewitt for fixing the problem with yours!

Posted by vilseskog about 2 years ago

Thanks @vilseskog ! Much appreciated!

Posted by zitserm about 2 years ago

Glad I got mine cleared up.

Posted by susanhewitt about 2 years ago

I think I got mine cleared up. Not sure how those snuck in…

Posted by rogerbirkhead about 2 years ago

Thanks @rogerbirkhead - no worries! :)
