Species Tallies Not Agreeing

Question from @magrietb :
Why are the numbers taking so long to reflect in the projects?
I've noticed today specifically with the species number, my tally is higher than it is on our local GSB project's home page, and our total species number kept climbing through the day but is stuck on the umbrella project's home page leaderboard. I'm just curious, is there a manual process to get everything up to date, somehow?

Response by @tonyrebelo:
iNat counts species in many ways. And there is no consistency. The variations are:

  • all leaves - from Class to Species rank - anything below species level eg subspecies (subsp) and variety (var) is omitted - this is your personal
  • all species - this is the number on the projects page
  • all research grade species

Accept the figures - the projects and the umbrella projects count species differently.
