Where to report incorrect title/description on stock image?

How do I report stock images with incorrect titles or tags? I use a lot of stock photos of plants and animals and I search by specific species. In the process, I often find carelessly described photos with the wrong species name in the title. Example included (obviously not an oak of any kind, it's an alder or other Betulaceae species) but this isn't limited to one image, it's a widespread and recurring problem when browsing stock nature photography. There is no option for "incorrect title" or "incorrect description" in the flag button menu, so I don't know where or how to report these issues so they can be corrected. 

 

It's frustrating to be looking for something specific and see a bunch of unrelated content in the search results, and it concerns me that users who are unable to identify these plants or animals at a glance may unknowingly use a misidentified image in their content.

My guess is that such a button would open the door for “revenge” marking of competitor's files. It helps, however, when you include the ID of the asset.

I think you can only contact certain people to take care of this. But yeah, it would be nice if there was some kind of report button for this. 

This is definitely a job for @Contributor1 .
