adding reference to Observation we post

[Vishalbhave]

I think

It would be good to add reference using which Identification was done?

can we add one more section or point to observation?

Howdy,

I'm afraid you lost me. Could you be a bit more specific? Do you
mean adding a reference to what piece of literature or website you
used to make an identification? What would you like to add a
"section" to?

Just a name of reference not entire document so other can use that for
further studies (if any) !
i mean to say one more "field or text box"

Well, we could make it so people could add additional info links to
the taxon pages so we could link to more content than Wikipedia. So
for instance, http://inaturalist.org/taxa/51002 could contain a link
to http://www.seaslugforum.net/factsheet.cfm?base=elystome. Anyone
else interested in this?

Yes. That would be awesome.

Ok, better late than never: taxon pages now have taxon links next to
the description, and any signed-in user can add them. These can just
be plain old URLs like http://eol.org/pages/328602, or you can click
"show for descendent taxa" and use template tags in the URL to
automatically fill in the scientific name, like
http://eol.org/search?q=[NAME].

So for instance, if you check out http://inaturalist.org/taxa/51315,
you'll see I added some plain URLs like

http://www.laspilitas.com/nature-of-california/plants/calochortus-albus

and there are some dynamic ones with template tags like:

http://calphotos.berkeley.edu/cgi/img_query?query_src=photos_index&rel-taxon=contains&where-taxon=[NAME]

One guideline: try to keep the dynamic links to sites with global
reach. I was tempted to add one for calflora.org for all plants, but
it would have just resulted in a lot of dead links for taxa outside of
California (CalPhotos, on the other hand, has an amazingly large
collection of images from around the world).

Vishal, I know this doesn't quite satisfy your original request, but
citation management isn't really what iNat is for. However, I
encourage you to add citations to your observation descriptions or the
Wikipedia pages if you find them useful.

Now we can get more information about the species .
