Reviewer name and names of any other individual's who aided in reviewer	Corey T. Callaghan
Do you understand and agree to our policy of having open and named reviews, and having your review included with the published papers. (If no, please inform the editor that you cannot review this manuscript.)	Yes
Is the language of sufficient quality?	Yes
Please add additional comments on language quality to clarify if needed
Are all data available and do they match the descriptions in the paper?	Yes
Additional Comments
Are the data and metadata consistent with relevant minimum information or reporting standards? See GigaDB checklists for examples <a href="http://gigadb.org/site/guide" target="_blank">http://gigadb.org/site/guide</a>	Yes
Additional Comments	More information should be given on the relevance to GBIF. And why the dataset is necessary to 'stand alone'. The main reason I guess is because in this context cultivated organisms are really valuable as a lot of your target organisms will indeed be cultivated.
Is the data acquisition clear, complete and methodologically sound?	No
Additional Comments	More detail should be provided about the difference in research grade and cultivated organisms on iNaturalist. The RG could be downloaded from GBIF, but I understand the need to go around that given that the cultivated organisms are also valuable in this context.
Is there sufficient detail in the methods and data-processing steps to allow reproduction?	Yes
Additional Comments
Is there sufficient data validation and statistical analyses of data quality?	Yes
Additional Comments	Not relevant.
Is the validation suitable for this type of data?	No
Additional Comments	There should be more information provided on the CV model. And more information provided on the importance of identifiers in iNaturalist ecosystem. They are critically important. Right now, it reads as if the CV model generally accurately identifies organisms, but this isn't necessarily true, and there is no reference given. However, the identifiers are necessary to help data processing and identification of the organisms submitted to iNaturalist. I also think the biases of cultivated organisms not being identified as readily by iNaturalist identifiers should be discussed somewhere in the manuscript.
Is there sufficient information for others to reuse this dataset or integrate it with other data?	Yes
Additional Comments	Yes.
Any Additional Overall Comments to the Author	I appreciated the description of this dataset and particularly liked the 'context' section and think it did a good job of setting up the need for such data. I would use iNaturalist throughout as opposed to iNat since iNat is a bit more colloquial.
Recommendation	Minor Revision
