There was a problem hiding this comment.
Oh, wait. I was too hasty on that approval.
We should include a message that says what to do if a name doesn't resolve

Should be something like this: If your name does not resolve to an ORCID, you should do the following:
Seems like we should also say something about this being for internal Allen people only, given that these docs are actually publicly visible. |

I was working too fast here. Turns out that message above isn't quite correct. The ORCID lookup will not return an ID, even if it's a unique match, without either an allen affiliation or a verified email. That was a deliberate decision I made because I didn't want to return an incorrect exact match (for example, if someone at the allen had never registered with orcid they might not realize that someone else with an exact name match had already done so - leading to an incorrect attribution). Sorry I didn't read that more closely and catch it yesterday. I was moving too fast and being sloppy. Followup PR coming now. |
