@austinrkelly, we were in the middle of a discussion trying to work out whether these merited devations from POWO, when you rammed the taxon swaps through and marked our flag as 'resolved': https://www.inaturalist.org/flags/495230
Did you take the trouble to read the discussion? It comes accross as pretty rude for you to unilaterally make these changes in the middle of a discussion about them. There were hundreds of observations involved, I hope you volunteer to help re-identify them correctly should we decide to deviate from POWO, it won't be a small job.
Unintended disagreements occur when a parent (B) is
thinned by swapping a child (E) to another part of the
taxonomic tree, resulting in existing IDs of the parent being interpreted
as disagreements with existing IDs of the swapped child.
Identification
ID 2 of taxon E will be an unintended disagreement with ID 1 of taxon B after the taxon swap
If thinning a parent results in more than 10 unintended disagreements, you
should split the parent after swapping the child to replace existing IDs
of the parent (B) with IDs that don't disagree.
