Ok. So, it seems that:

  1. All annotations should have a tag_id (but it should be called code_id, @matthias) set to something other than null.

  2. Annotations whose snippet consists of the first word of the post are legit. They refer to the whole post.

  3. No other cases of one-word snippets are legit.

How to check for 1

  1. Count the cases with . Few cases can be glitches: hundreds of cases point to a probable error in the import script.

  2. Check the creation dates of the annotations. If many were created in 2016-2017, there is probably something wrong with the import script.

Checking for 2 is trivial, though probably tedious. I thought I could do these checks myself with 20 lines of code, but I get an annoying glitch: the annotations endpoint returns an object that looks JSON-like, but it is not a list, rather an “instancemethod”:

>>> import requests
>>> url = 'https://edgeryders.eu/administration/annotator/annotations.json?per_page=100000'
>>> response = requests.get(url).json()
>>> type(response)
<type 'instancemethod'>
