Yes on all. Thanks. As a general rule, it seems that we have another
thing that we should check before making this decision: check for
interactions recorded on those dates (obvious in retrospect! Sorry).

Just to keep this documented, after this decision was made
by Susan, I started the 07A update, and found that interactions also
occur on the 29th of June for some of the groups in question. It seems
that the team was with Nyayo's, Viola's, Omo's, and Weaver's groups this
day. Some of the groups only have a quick census, for VIO and WEA a C
and an M were observed. Omo's had a long list of interactions. So, for
this reason, all 4 groups will have census date 06-29-2008. Tabby will
make these changes for Omo's and Weaver's group. VIO and NYA already
have census dates on the 29th.
Susan, does this all seem right to you, this is our decision and
we should go for it? Or are there more things to consider?
thanks!

In that case I think it is worth querying the
team. Most likely they won't recall after so long. However, it is worth
asking them, to flag it to their attention. If they don't recall, then
it is probably most conservative to assign the census dates to the days
that the activity calendars indicate there were censuses.

There is some evidence of a mix-up.
I have a census for Omo on the 29th but
not the 27th.
Linda's looks fine: census data for the
27th and 28th.
I have a census for Weaver on the 29th
but not the 28th.

Hi Tabby,
Actually it's not impossible. If the
whole team was out there and darting ended early then they may well have
decided to do this; I don't remember at the moment, but I do know that
we often decided to do extra censuses on early darting days. Are there
censuses for Omo on 27th, Linda on 27th and 28th, and Weaver on 28th as
well as all of them on 29th? Or is there some evidence that dates got
mixed up?

Hi Jeanne,
I was just checking the last census day
for June for all the groups because this poses a limit on the cycles I
can enter. I found something peculiar that I wanted to check with you,
Susan, and maybe the team. Weaver, Nyayo, Omo, and Viola all have a
final census day of June 29th. It seems strange (or impossible) that a
census would have been done for all 4 groups on this day.
The activity calendars say:
June 27: Linda, Nya, Omo census
June 28: Darting - Linda, Weaver census
June 29: Darting - Nyayo, Viola census
Any insights or suggestions on whether I
need to pursue a possible correction?
Thanks,
Tabby
