As a wildlife photographer I take great care to identify the animals/plants I photograph and to add the correct scientific/Latin names, also in the keywords. Now suddenly a whole batch of my images was moved back from the "pending" section to the "pending your edit" section with a note: "Please re-edit keywords. Please remove all Latin/scientific names as they are not parsed". What does this mean? I think they lost their minds.

I generally put the Latin name in the description area. As I understand it, it will still get "picked up" if a customer searches those terms.

Hello all,

I spoke to our content team managers and we do support (and encourage) the use of scientific names in metadata for images of animals and plants. If you check the site, you should find a large number of images with this information intact. This appears to have been a misunderstanding, for which we apologize.

The content team should be reaching out to Eco to address the specific images that were denied. 

As always, if you find an issue like this that seems abnormal, please don't hesitate to contact Support.  They'll pursue the issue to determine if there was an error or if the denial in question accurately reflects Bigstock's policies and standards.

Thank you!

Best,
