Hello,

Thanks for posting this to our forum. Your report brought to light a bug, which we believe has been
remedied in Mantamatcher and two other communities.

I’ve deleted the first example encounter you provided as a test, please verify the fix works for you with
the other two.

Thanks!

Hiya! Thank for getting to this.
So I managed to delete the second one, but not the third. Looks like it thinks it’s in New Zealand where I don’t have permissions.

Hi,

Since the description is “Komodo, Indonesia” I assume that assigning New Zealand as a location ID was a mistake.

Are these citizen scientist submissions or is Ben Wrench a colleague?
