Everything I uploaded 3 days ago was flagged for an unspecified "data issue"

I have no idea what the data issue was. Keywording is reasonably complete, titling is normal. I've had many hundreds of other images accepted and have never seen this error until today, and they haven't given me any advice on how to fix it. All the illustrations and photos uploaded that day were flagged with the same unspecified issue and I was instructed to fix it, whatever it is/was. Any ideas?

Correct answer MatHayward

You must only use the language you specified when keywording. If using English, then only use English keywords. The system has a translator that works automatically. Don't add multiple languages.

 

Thanks,

The refusal says it: Keyword or title. As @RALPH_L my guess is the keywords.

 

Your screenshot is not the original file, but I also agree with Ralph that there may be artefacts in that picture.

 

On a different matter: Your file is too late. You need to submit those files months ahead of the actual holiday.

Understood, thank you. Given that they are proper nouns translated from Hebrew, I used the appropriate Ladino, Yiddish, and the 3 English spellings that googlefight told me were the most common. I will update that. EVERYTHING from that day had the same refusal – "data issue" but nothing specific. The others didn't have any alternate spellings in the keywording.

 

Yes, i realize this one came much too late. Some of my xmas images took a month or two to get approved so I really should have finalized these back in September. Well, got it for next year I suppose.

 

Thank you both for the excellent advice!

The refusal is based on the keywording. Do not include alternate spellings. Only the correct spelling.

If that is the original photo, it will probably be refused on technical reasons. The photo has several faults.
