Feedback from Bob Mesibov about gnparser HOT 7 CLOSED

Hm, Genus (Subgenus) should work according to these tests:

https://github.com/gnames/gnparser/blob/master/testdata/test_data.md#combination-of-two-uninomials

Name: Aaleniella (Danocythere)

Canonical: Aaleniella subgen. Danocythere

Name: Cordia (Adans.) Kuntze sect. Salimori

Canonical: Cordia sect. Salimori

Name: Calathus (Lindrothius) KURNAKOV 1961

Canonical: Calathus subgen. Lindrothius

Can you add examples that show your cases?

Can you please show examples for worries about "Author in Author, Year"

from gnparser.

Looks like I need to add "dem" as an author word: Von dem Busch. Ill check if dem ever happens as a specific epithet.

@dimus, sorry, I wasn't paying attention to this issue. The "Genus (Subgenus)" and "Author in Author, Year" cases I was thinking of can be found in in https://github.com/gnames/gnames/files/12587991/regex_OK_gnparser_no.txt. Both forms throw up a quality rating of 2.

Please also note that in "Eutrochatella babei (Arango y Molina, 1876)", the "y" is part of the author's surname, so the quality 2 indicator "Spanish 'y' is used instead of '&'" does not apply.

Thank you @Mesibov for explanation. I do think that y should decrease the quality, because there are many other languages that people can use for the and word, and doing so will create a mess. So I decided to limit and words to and and &. I personally would prefer et though :)

I am not sure what to do if y is a part of the Author name, I guess I do need to put exceptions and hardcode such authors into gnparser.

In case of Genus (Subgenus) and Author in Author the quality is decreased after discussion with Paddy Patterson about these two issues. For botanical names 'Author in Author' is actually valid, so I am on the fence about it. For Genus (Subgenus) I can double check with ICZN folks.

I did try to address most of the problems in v1.7.5
