@AaronClausen just checking if you're aware of this bug where newly created insects (perhaps other species too) seem to be placed into the plants category?

Thanks @natureguy - we are running a large bulk import at the moment for a lot of Hejor's old sightings. It is still in progress with more sightings coming through today. I've had a look at this one, and it appears this issue is unrelated to the bulk import, but that the species "Poecilohetaerus schineri" already existed in the database and for some reason has been placed in the Plants > Other Shrubs category. It is likely to be a data issue and I would recommend for an appropriate moderator to move the species out of plants and into the correct insects category please if somebody can. But if you can produce a use case where you create a brand new insect species and see it appear in plants unintentionally that can be reproduced, I will definitely be able to look into it. Thanks heaps.

Greetings @AaronClausen, just to let you know that items coming through in this import that have been previously confirmed are duplicating as tbc. Thanks.

Legend thanks @michaelb .
Thanks @owenh can you please give me an example of what you mean?
All sightings as part of this import are deliberately being imported as unconfirmed at the request of the user, so they will come through as suggestions only until re confirmed within the naturemapr platform.
Apologies if we are flooding you a bit at the moment!

Thanks @AaronClausen . As an example see sighting 4475515 'Unidentified' posted 10 hours ago which is a duplicate of 4473432 which I confirmed back on March 5. Only 10 occurrences in Butterflies but could easily be missed and re-confirmed as separate sightings elsewhere. User has agreed to delete Butterfly duplicates.

Ahh good pick up @owenh thanks mate. I see what's happened. There is a very small rounding error/difference between old and new sighting of about 0.000001 in the location coordinates. So the system therefore considered it unique and allowed the bulk import to re import the same sighting again. Ugh. Not much we can do realistically apart from giving @Hejor1 a hand to clean any such duplicates up as a one off once the final import operation is done. I'm just about to kick off another run now which will import another several hundred sightings. Thanks for all your help guys!

Gee @AaronClausen you folks are clever. I'm happy to delete any Butterfly duplicates when completed if @Hejor1 wishes and gives approval. Thanks Aaron!

Thank you @michaelb, @AaronClausen and @owenh .
@owenh Permission granted!! I’d be extremely grateful if you could delete any duplicates you notice.
@AaronClausen is there a way to report sightings from me which are same x taxon, with one sighting added 13 or 14 March, which occur within, say, 0.000005? That would cover similar sightings, where only one was created by the uploads, and account for rounding in the location. I could probably manage to do it in excel with some IF AND functions but if you already have a way to do this, could you send it to me once all the uploads are complete? I can go through them and try to identify the duplicates.

Yep I'll jump on tonight @Hejor1 and tidy them up. Also need to group them into a nice collection. More to come..

Thanks @Hejor1 . To achieve this we actually need to delete the sighting that has previously been confirmed then confirm the duplicate sighting (system won't allow duplicate tbc sighting to be deleted). Are you ok with this? @AaronClausen fyi.
