georef error and source

Would be great to allow georef error and georef source(s) as part of batch specimen upload

showing global identifier for refs

Andy Deans — Sat, 24 Aug 2013 00:57:30 -0000

when I am updating a ref:
.../projects/12/ref/edit/29680
It'd be great to hide the identifier/namespace option and instead show the global identifier / type option. I find myself adding DOI, BHL links, etc. more than my own personal identifiers.

see types in specimen search

Andy Deans — Fri, 23 Aug 2013 14:54:06 -0000

When I search on 'latidens' here:
.../12/specimen
I don't discover any specimens. So I create one for the holotype.

But when I go here:
.../12/taxon_name/show_type_material/25871
I can see that there's already specimen that is designated as holotype (mx_id: 440). So I delete my duplicate holotype and use specimen 440. Is it possible to reveal these "hidden" specimens in a search on the specimens page? I suppose they don't show because they have "no determinations"? Seems like designating a specimen as a type counts as a determination.

specimens attached to ce?

possible to get some indication from this page:
.../projects/12/ce/show/24048
whether specimens are attached to a ce? this would help me prioritize a georeferencing jam. One mechanism could be to look at print "cue" (shouldn't that be 'queue'?), but I doubt that's been entered for older specimens

Unspecified type

Possible to get a category of 'unspecified type' here?
http://.../projects/12/specimen/new
In some cases it's not clear whether a specimen is a syntype, cotype, or holotype, but you know that it must be one of those kinds. I have examples if you need one.
