“Support is excellent. The newsletters are very good and excellent for future reference. More training always welcome! “
“The system seems so vast that it is at times unwieldy and - with underdeveloped knowledge/user skills - difficult to navigate.“
“EMu help has always been excellent - although sometimes emailing back and forth to explain a more complicated problem/request can be time consuming.”

I have inadvertently created two MA_I records for images that don't exist.
In collection events, can you please globally change Hen & Chickens to Hen and Chickens.
Annoyingly I find that collection event for M.58360 is still "restricted". Can you please link this to the same CE as M.58341
Please fuse multiple taxonomy entries for the following under SPECIES
Alcithoe sp.Allodiscus sp.
Ammonicera sp. 1Buccinulum sp.
Cytora sp.Diala sp.Gari sp.
Kellia sp. 1Lepidotheuthis sp.
Limaria sp.Lissarca sp. 1Maorithyas sp.
