@rfoster Is there any guideline as to how long taxon change drafts should be left open for comment? This taxon swap is a fairly significant one given that almost 1,000 observations will be affected by it.
I'm not aware of a guideline. You've tagged several people, giving them a chance to comment and nobody has. @bouteloua any thoughts?
Alright. If nobody adds any comment by then, I will commit the change on Sunday. I am pretty sure the comments will come afterwards ;-)
Yep, go for it! You may get a few squeals of outrage (usually happens with a change like this) but then others like it because they get the chance to go through and correct lots of IDs.
I’m new to how Taxon swaps work and I’m seeing in my feed now an option to update my content. Will this change be automatic or do I need to manually update all my records to U. macrorhiza?
@meganmaye It depends on if you have identified your content as U. vulgaris or U. vulgaris subsp. macrorhiza in the past. Unfortunately, only the U. vulgaris subsp. macrorhiza ID's are automatically updated (which has already happened) since U. vulgaris is still very much a valid species and there doesn't seem to be an option to automatically change all U. vulgaris ID's from North America to U. macrorhiza.
@thilokrueger I can now see only one U. vulgaris record for North America and that is an ID by someone who has opted out of community ID. Seems to have gone smoothly.
Ah, I see that there are lots that are now in limbo because you and Fernado have been very busy identifying to subspecies prior to the swap. I have little doubt they'll be fixed soon as it's often only the observers original ID that is preventing RG as U. macrorhiza.
@rfoster Yes, that certainly went much more smoothly than I expected! Of course, there are now a few hundred observations which have reverted to genus ID mostly due to the observer selecting U. vulgaris in the computer ID options. Hopefully many of them will be fixed soon. I have also added atlases for both taxa which should help clarifying the disjunct geographic distribution of the two.
@thilokrueger thanks! I’ll check back on my previous observations and see if any need updating.

The only downside I see is the the orphaned records but it probably won't take long before they are are corrected and reach RG, again. Is there no way to convert just the North American records of U. vulgaris to U. macrorhiza?
