-  * Are new entries checked by an editor? +
-  * Are new entries first on a preliminary map? +
-  * Can we simply copy-paste content? For instanceis there a standard dataset for hazelnuts that does not have to be updated later? So if a new recipe is found for hazelnuts, we don't have to add it to all entries individually? > A standard link should probably go to a page of recipesAnd on this page you can add recipes at any time. +
-  * Can bio-students do plant-determination as editors? +
-  * If the user identifies the plant and names the new entry, can the dataset for that plant be added automatically?+
