I probably should have waited a bit before commuting this taxon change instead of committing to it. In the future I will be more precautious. That being said, I am aware of some of the ambiguity among Ovis. It reminds me of Bos. I just assumed iNaturalist kept domestic organisms separate from their wild predecessors for organizational purposes, similar to the IUCN (ex. keeping Canis familiaris separate from Canis lupus, Equus caballus from Equus ferus.
Hi Bobby, that's a complicated issue - I'm aware that there is a taxonomy sheep / mouflon / urial mess floating around on iNat, but this partly reflects the ambiguous taxonomic status and affiliation of some of the members of this group. @lancillotto wanted to look into that, and come up with a solution, so I hope he'll chime in here.
