N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

Hi Keith,

The problem was due to a conflict with the "Botanical Exchange Club", which no-longer existed by then - I've changed it to the later version "Botanical Society & Exchange Club of The British Isles" (this type of problem was why the variants of the society's name had been lumped together previously).

In cases such as this it's fine to record the date as written. The warning message is intended to prompt people to double-check details, but records can still be saved regardless.

regards,

Tom.
