I came across someone who had uploaded pictures of animals from a class they were taking, so they are not inherently observations of the animals themselves. I marked them as not having “Evidence of organism” in the criteria below so at least they won’t be research grade. Is there another, perhaps …

Could you explain it more, what’s on those photos? People? Then id them as human. Or stuffed animals? If latter, then cultivated or wrong date/place is better.

I’m not sure I understand, do you mean that it was a picture of a picture, a picture of a collected specimen, or of a captive animal? If captive, I’d say “not wild” is more appropriate.

Maybe you mean drawings of animals? I believe these observations should be allowed.

I think everyone’s answers here pretty much sum up every single thing this situation could be. On the other hand, if you’re saying that these are image of images from books or something, then that would be copyright infringement.

I don’t know if it’s appropriate to share the link here or not, but yes, it’s an image of an image (for all of the observations by this user).

Pictures of printouts, almost like cheat sheets for what you may expect to see. Submitted dozens of times by many, many users.

Photos of which photos? If photo of another student, then it’s acceptable.

Not someone else’s photos. Printouts like this which is one of the few not yet flagged I can find [removed by forum moderator]

Were they photos of photos, taxidermy, or photos from a Zoom call?
