Should an iconic taxa selection be required as a part of uploading?

Perhaps too this feature would be a barrier to participation for users who lack enough background in biology to pick the correct iconic taxa.

I think if it were implemented in an optional manner: “If you can, add an ID or pick from one of the following groups. Otherwise just continue without an ID for now.” This could catch a lot of avoidable unknowns, while still encouraging unknowns to be posted anyway when unavoidable.
