Some odd names to check

[ManonGros]

Hi PLAZI,

Some of the names reported in this issue come from data published by PLAZI. They all seem to be oddly shaped. Would it be possible to check them out?

Let me know if you have any question, thanks!

[Carol-Sokolowicz]

I've fixed the names but don't know why it hasn't been updated on GBIF

[myrmoteras]

@Carol-Sokolowicz you can get an idea why, if the ingestion here https://www.gbif.org/system-health is high

[flsimoes]

@myrmoteras @ManonGros Some of the names reported here are invalid, are there guidelines on how to deal with them in GBIF?

Also, one of the reported names is a pro parte, meaning it includes more than one currently recognized entity, and that only one of those entities is being considered. Not sure how that should be presented on TB and GBIF

It's been updated, but they are not fully fixed yet

[flsimoes]

Fixed the Smaragdina in C207BF1CD6BB50DB836ED0D0FED79BD9

They should be fixed in GBIF soon

[flsimoes]

As @Carol-Sokolowicz said, the Pericalus in AA26FF84157BFFAE490E7F133744FF98 should be fixed. I gave it another go to see if it finally triggers an update by GBIF

[flsimoes]

The Mus cypriacus in E2099A0D3426FF97E1372C0977498313 had a missing authority attribute.

Thanks @flsimoes !

Perhaps this is a question for @DianRHR and @camiplata

[flsimoes]

Regarding the non-disappearance of the wrong taxonomicNames from GBIF (it does disappear from the Plazi record though) is likely a GBIF issue. Perhaps these wrong names are not cleaned up at all after we update them...

[ManonGros]

Yes @flsimoes the link above are to the names that were already integrated in the GBIF backbone taxonomy so they won't disappear until the backbone gets updated. I checked the PLAZI datasets and the names were indeed removed from what is provided to GBIF. This means that the next backbone should be good
