Critical issues:

• Geoff's name in the reference
• Questionable title "Catalogue of Life Checklist". "Catalogue" and "Checklist" in the same phrase is a nonsense. Which title is registered with ISSN? The title must be consistent with the registered one.
• Paragraph Acknowledgements should not be a list of "creators"/authors

[yroskov]

World Plants supposed to be synced 2021-12-01.

2021-12-02: Lot of WP sectors still have a status "waiting", one - "cancelled". No processes running. What does it mean?

https://github.com/CatalogueOfLife/backend/issues/1079

[yroskov]

Woops! 2021-12-07, 13.20: The system is under maintenance - please expect errors.

2021-12-07, 9.30: The system is under maintenance - please expect errors.

2021-12-09, 10.15: The system is under maintenance - please expect errors.

@gdower, as we discussed, we probably need to re-do ITIS & Scarabs import and WoRMS syncs (what is about WPlants & WFerns?) after clb will be back to normal. (...The ITIS import process isn't showing at all even though it uploaded). See also https://github.com/CatalogueOfLife/backend/issues/1079#issuecomment-989945796

2021-12-09, 12.00: @gdower, it looks like clb is back to normal now (no warning message anymore). I guess, we can re-do postponed jobs from now.

• [x] A batch of "bare names" in the CoL need to be deleted: https://github.com/CatalogueOfLife/data/issues/369

Checklistbank has no tool for deletion. Only blocking is possible. It's possible, via "indirect" steps, because user cannot open CoL Working Draft (id 3) in the Workbench.

2021-12-15: 1,208 bare names blocked in dataset ID 3 *)

https://data.catalogueoflife.org/catalogue/3/dataset/3/workbench?facet=rank&facet=issue&facet=status&facet=nomStatus&facet=nameType&facet=field&facet=authorship&facet=authorshipYear&facet=extinct&facet=environment&facet=origin&limit=1000&offset=0&reverse=false&status=bare%20name

*) Well, names blocked, if the checklistbank can handle this correctly:

1) selected all bare names, decision "Block" applied to all 2) results 3) page refreshed, and... no one decision saved (!)
