290 Plazi datasets that are very likely to have classification issues ACC-ACC species (different authors)

[camiplata]

Hi Plazi team, this issue is similar to #362.

While reviewing duplicate data on the extended release, I found that Plazi was involved in at least 616 duplicate pairs. I did several checks and found that many are due to:

• A completely wrong classification, all names under a classification different from the original paper
• A partially wrong classification, one or two names under the wrong, kingdom, order, class etc
• Incomplete classification or missing ranks
• Duplicate names within the checklist
• Inconsistencies on the authorship, missing ones or double authorships

Here you can find those names wich are represented in 290 datasets, I recommend reviewing the datasets as an entity as in most cases there are problems in multiple names not only in the ones listed.

These datasets are very likely to have a problem, but still there may be a couple of them that may be just fine.

Thank you as always for these "clean ups", these have a very positive impact on Catalogue of Life and all our users.

@camiplata Is there a spreadsheet for this?

These 2 don't seem to have anything to fix, can you confirm?

@camiplata most of these have now been fixed

The following file contains datasets where we didn't find any clear errors, so we'll need further feedback from you as to what exactly needs to be fixed.

Additionally, these 4 datasets are not done yet

That is great Felipe, I'll have a look to the shared file and come back with comments, if any.

Hi Felipe, there where some without problems others where you already did some fixing, the remaining ones I will list here, it is mainly issues due to name duplicates within the same dataset.

@camiplata

Regarding

1. A31C8F6DFFDCFFCE4C394B044D497F0B
   https://www.checklistbank.org/dataset/217510/duplicates?limit=50&offset=0
   There are duplicates due to the existence of "species-group" treatments. So these are correct, though I'm not sure what to do to clear the data for you.
2. AAF5FF0F61E032BFAD683FA15F94AF54
   https://www.checklistbank.org/dataset/304774/duplicates?limit=50&offset=0
   These taxa appear in multiple treatments and are indeed correct

@camiplata
Regarding AF21FF86FFCCFFC78D09FFF5FFBABA77, https://www.checklistbank.org/dataset/35256/classification?taxonKey=x3T
I had to fix a lot of things, thus I decided to remark the taxons
Let's wait and check once that gets updated in ClB

[camiplata]

Hi Felipe, thanks for your help. For 1 and 2, I think we can handle this kind of duplicates on the merge as they are the same. The errors I'm getting with those probably need to be fixed more on our side than on yours, I just check an there are other sources involved so I'll have to set some editorial decisions.

So I believe we are almost done with this issue package!!!!!

[flsimoes]

@camiplata
Can you check whether these 2 need fixing? And if so, what needs to be fixed?

Hi!

On the first one there are inconsistent duplicates:

The first duplicate pair is the same name and authorship, but one is accepted and the other a synonym.
The second duplicate is the opposite, the same name with two different authorship and both names are accepted wich is unlikely.

https://www.checklistbank.org/dataset/286008/duplicates?limit=50&offset=0

The second dataset looks good, I don't see any issue
