questions

so I disagreed with someones ID of oriental bittersweet, but I don't know roses enough to ID to species level so I just put Rosa. Others then ID-ed as multiflora rose. Why is my ID showing up as red on the community taxon? I didn't disagree with multiflora rose...

What to do when multiple species are on the same observation? There seem to be two ways of dealing with it.
Identifying the first organism:

or
Identifying to closest unifying group and selecting that the taxon cannot be improved:

I think I favor the latter. The former seems sloppy and innaccurate- we will have research-grade observations that are full of extra garbage.
Note - latter is endorsed by iNaturalist here
