sooby said:Probably more choices in case a cultivar is not highly either would be better, but the rating that shows would still be the last person's edit that was accepted by the monitor, so one person's experience. I suppose it may be that others don't change the rating because they agree with it in which case it's more than one opinion, but there's no way of knowing that. I wonder if there could be a way to indicate the history of any changes?
Sue, you can find a record of changes to the cultivar database entry at the very bottom of the cultivar page in " View the history of this database entry". This record shows various proposals, who made them and the date/time submitted. To view the actual proposal you need to click the person who made it and then find the correct proposal under their Plant Database Contributions. Even then it can be difficult to see what was changed because the "View the proposal" doesn't show a a copy of the previous data entry before the change, only the proposed change and the now current data information. If there is a way to see what was there prior to the proposal being approved I haven't found it yet.
