Identification of observations: Phase II
We have now come to the end of Phase I. All the observations now have an identification at some level
Mopping up will continue. If you could help to get these down to the level at which our specialists can process them it will be appreciated.
• No IDs yet - only make an ID if you recognize it - otherwise leave it without an ID. - 390
• Useless IDs (too vague) - can you make these finer? To family, genus or species?. - - 470
But our main work now moves to getting identifications to the species level. This is the most formidable task, and needs to be done group for group.
If you know of any specialists who can help, please enlist them this weekend and send them the link.
Statistics for the groups will be provided in the comments, and links provided here with the current needs

QUICK INSTRUCTIONS!
Did you miss the original instructions ? They are still here:
https://www.inaturalist.org/posts/34245-tuesday-morning-blues-and-now-what
But a very quick synopsis is to view this 2 minute tutorial: https://vimeo.com/246153496
And then click on the link for your group on the links above, and get identifying.
Notes:
** Dont click on planted or captive observations until they have reached "Research Grade"
** Dont make higher level IDs (e.g. it is ID'd as Turdus olivaceous - so dont add a genus Turdus ID: if you dont know the species just skip it)
** Agree with our known professional and amateur experts if you see that they have identified a species and you totally trust their abilities. Otherwise, do not agree unless you know for certain that the ID is correct.
** When you have reviewed an entire page (30 observations), mark them as "Mark all as reviewed": this will make sure that they dont clutter up your workflow. (if there are one or two that you want to come back to, click on the top of the card to "unreview" or "review" them).
CALL FOR EXPERTS: please help.
(in fairness, this request will load all observations for the City Nature Challenge from southern Africa, not just Cape Town)
These are observations above species rank: checking species already identified is phase III of our process, but please feel free to do so (in the grey filter box, remove the LOW Rank from "Genus" to "low")
(numbers are current 00:01 Sun 3 May, and in Brackets Saturday 12:00)

I think there is a mistake in the last. -----Milkweeds acanthaceae ! @tonyrebelo It may cause confusion
Totals updated. If you can help with a group please do so: only 40 hours to go ...
Significant movement only in Proteaceae, Palms and Crandflowers. Groups needing urgent attention highlighted.

CURRENT NOMINATIONS for Observation of the 2020 City Nature Challenge
SYNOPSIS SO FAR:
OK. So nothing much more is moving. It appears as if all the IDs have gone as fine as we can expect them to. In fact, for insects, the number of "Needs IDs" in all the major groups is increasing.
So time to move on to the mopping up stage.
Meanwhile, please check your favourite groups: is there anything left there that we can do?
Marine people needed please: IDs needed in
(click on the category to open the ID tool)
• Fish - 26 (26)
• Molluscs - 98 (161) (includes marine)
• Other marine (mostly)

Is there a way that one can search for needs id observations? @tonyrebelo
Lots of ways: easiest is just to click on the links (fish, molluscs, other marine) provided above.
Quick instructions are in the second comment to this blog.
Here is the url (click it) for the "Other marine (mostly)" above:

Note that in the grey filter box on the page, you can switch off the "only show genus and above" by clicking on LOW in the second "rank" box. to get

You can get all this and more in the filter box on the Identity menu bar.
ok, I had a bash..
