Description of problem:

I imported some taxa using “search external name providers” and now look what happened. They are nested directly under “life” and the id are pre/automavericked.

I am an active identifier and faced this once before, that day i faced trouble but after that the problem disappeared. Today it appeared again.

Usually iNat accommodates these imported species within an hour or so, and also updates your identifications, if the combinations are valid. In case it’s an obsolete combination (e.g. with a synonymized genus) it needs to be fixed by a curator. Rarely an imported name fails to graft when there are generic homonyms in different kingdoms.
