Verified Images - making you feel more secure!

Post by daiv »

Well after running into a number of images lately that needed to be moved on the guide, (Such as the Grusonia pics, some Echinocereus, etc.) I felt it was time to increase the accuracy of the guide.

I created a feature that enables me (and potentially other qualified users) to flag images that have been verified by a third party. That is not me and not the person who took the picture, but a separate individual who can vouch for the name. There are just a few with this tag right now, but I hope to have it filled out quickly over the next couple months and going forward. I doubt that we'll ever have every image verified, but at least we'll know which ones are solid and which ones might be questionable.

Anyway, to see some verified images and to see the full explanation of the feature, go here:

Questions, comments, just let me know!

Great feature! :) Certainly makes future IDing attempts less daunting!
