Loss of location and date info

it doesn’t look to me like there’s actually a bug here.

i don think this is quite true. as far as i can tell, your recent batch of uploaded observations came through mostly fine. there are a few observations that came through without locations (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&subview=table&user_id=geoskimom&verifiable=false), and those look to in fact be cases where these image were probably missing metadata or lost metadata at some point in your processing. (some of these images look cropped. so it’s possible whatever program you used to crop dropped your location metadata.)

as far as messages go, if any of the observations within that batch are missing location or date, you could get a blanket message that indicates that you are missing location or dates. that message does not necessarily apply to all the observations, and if you were to look at your observations, the problematic ones would get highlighted, as shown below:

. if you continue without doing anything, the non-problematic ones will load just fine, and the problematic ones will just load without the date and/or location.
