Old vernacular names are being used #259

Closed SarahHyslop closed 5 years ago

Sent from British Dragonfly Society on 12.05.17; email in support@nbn

Old vernacular names are being used, e.g. "Banded Agrion" instead of the preferred "Banded Demoiselle", even though the taxon page for Calopteryx splendens (Harris, 1782) at https://species.nbnatlas.org/species/NBNSYS0000005617#names clearly shows which name is preferred and it was changed in the 1960s, I believe. This is only one example of many for dragonflies.

Detail of this example: Species ID: NBNSYS0000005617 - example records are shown on this page: https://records.nbnatlas.org/occurrences/search?taxa=&q=banded+demoiselle&offset=900&max=100&sort=occurrence_date and the one I looked at in detail is Occurrence record 459070444 > https://records.nbnatlas.org/occurrences/6dfa605e-b663-4279-b4b5-8243bf8adbbb where for field Vernacular name: Processed Value = "Banded Agrion", whereas Original Value = "Banded Demoiselle".

Notes: Banded Demoiselle is the preferred form Banded Agrion is well formed

We need to select the preferred form to display but also consider what to display when the dataset already contains a common name.

Thanks for looking at this one. Is there plaything I need to do here?

sophiathirza commented 7 years ago

No, thanks. It was a note for when we get the latest UKSI to work out how to choose which common name to show.

SarahHyslop commented 7 years ago

Okay, great thanks!

I've added a field to the taxa table to include the preferred common English name.

Note: I have done this is R rather than in the groovy application.

sophiathirza commented 5 years ago

The preferred common name is correctly displayed on the species page but on the records pages are still using the a non-preferred name

e.g. https://records.nbnatlas.org/occurrences/search?taxa=&q=banded+demoiselle&offset=900&max=100&sort=occurrence_date and https://records.nbnatlas.org/occurrences/b2baaaf6-b359-443a-bdec-115b8400d9cc

Records pages are now using the preferred common name.
