Heads up: Some or all of the identifications affected by
this split may have been replaced with identifications of 
Pongo. This
happens when we can't automatically assign an identification to one of the
output taxa.

Also - jakob you added https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/569674-Pongo-tapanuliensis as an active taxon. It should be inactive since Pongo abelii 67982 is active. Also you added a conservation status sourced to IUCN where none exists
Sorry, was just carried away by this super exciting find! Understand what you're saying - this can sit until the rest is in line.
I was also aware of adding a non-official CR status to the new species. However, given that Pongo abelii is CR, each of the split species will be CR as well.
Pongo tapanuliensis is not yet in IUCN! Please don't split this - just finishing the very hard and tedious work of getting primates in line with IUCN
Would be awesome to focus on getting iNat aligned with IUCN and formally documenting discrepancies at this point, rather than further deviating from this source
