An API search for "Acanthodactylus bedriagae" gives 12132222 as the first page ID, but searching for that ID using the pages API returns "error": "Page \"12132222\" is no longer available". If a page has been deleted, shouldn't it be removed from the search database?

@Patrick Leary: Thanks Patrick. Of course, now I can't reproduce the bug. But yesterday, I swear, for me it was not working with cURL unless the cache_ttl parameter was included. I know it can be difficult to communicate API changes, but email and/or Twitter would also help. I get fairly regular emails from NCBi, for example, where they warn if anything is going to change.

@Patrick Leary: So _88_88 and _130_130 are the suffixes for square thumbnail images. I see that _98_68 is the suffix for one of the 3 sizes of proportional thumbnails? I'd be grateful to know the suffixes for the other sizes of proportional thumbnails.

@Jennifer Hammock: The obvious option here is for Flickr contributors not to add pics to the EOL Flickr Group until the photo has been identified to their satisfaction. Flickr has various ID groups where unidentified organisms can be posted for identification; pics of uncertain ID could be added to those, and then added to the EOL Group later once identified.

@Jason Sharp: So, Jason, supposing we create a new Admin tool and EOL admin set you as a Tructed Flickr Contributor, so by default your photos came to the platform pre-Trusted. You wouldn't need to visit them all to flip them to Trusted, BUT, if you post a flickr image or two that you would like to share with us, but you're not sure of the ID, those would come to us Trusted, like the others. It might then in a sense "be your responsibility" to visit those images and curate them to Unreviewed. I imagine that for some people this would be a lot less curation work. On the other hand, maybe it's too complicated/confusing?

@Nathan Wilson: Thanks. I've just seen that there is a little documentation on this, actually: http://eol.org/info/54#crop

Nathan Wilson commented on "EOL API Discussion Group":
Just fixed the example image. I believe the intent is to make the cropping available to all curators including assistant curators.

@Jeff Holmes:
Sure - it's from http://eol.org/data_objects/5902712
For the majority, I think a single version is good enough. Maybe the tool should be available to curators?
Out of interest, are you likely to rename the thumbnails to "small_square", "small_proportional", or the like? I don't have strong views on the matter, though, and I guess you could just provide both options via redirects
-
Jeff Holmes commented on "EOL API Discussion Group":
@Yan Wong: We do have a tool that is available to admin users that does let us adjust thumbnails but only one version can be saved. I'll have a go at fixing the one you mentioned... Can you provide a link to that page?
