Message: <blockquote data-quote="jurek" data-source="post: 3669435" data-attributes="member: 3357">For you: just ignore these people.Abut the ebird: I really have an issue with ebird and similar gatherings of huge low quality data in science, which are poorly vetted or not vetted. I seriously doubt whether, as somebody suggested, moderators of ebird check records of all members, flag those who are outliers, and check if they are stringers. Most often publications based on big, low quality data in biology ignore the problem altogether. In short, the authors say: we know we may do bull***t results because we use bull**** data, but we write anyway.</blockquote>
