Species Names
When uploading photos, it is recommended that you use Scientific names only.
Issue number one : in the case of a number of species, there are several English names for one and the same species.
Example : Chloris sinica = Oriental Greenfinch, Grey-capped Greenfinch.
Secondly : Korean botanical institutions have decided to rename a significant number of English plant species names; their recommendations are likely to be followed only by Korean botanists; iNaturalist is an international community of professional and amateur naturalists.
iNaturalist does not provide the user with much of a choice; if the species is in the system, it will show the English name (i.e. the English name preferred by iNaturalist) in larger letters, and the scientific name in smaller letters.
If the members of the project KMLA Species List agree on using Scientific names in their identification and comments, we can argue that the usage of English names is the responsibility of iNaturalist, and not of the KMLA Species List Project.
