Message: <blockquote data-quote="jmepler" data-source="post: 3669480" data-attributes="member: 59160">I nearly always point out wrong identifications.  I try to be tactful, and most of the time it is met favorably.  It sounds like the people in the original post were more interested in adding to their list than actually having the correct identification.  I would point out the list in question to eBird.  They can decide what actions to take.  We had one notorious stringer that, eventually, had to be banned from eBird.  The first step is making the eBird reviewer for the area aware of the situation.  It may not be corrected anyway, but I would feel better for having tried.</blockquote>
