Hello! Rejection marked "Illustrative Editorial Issue." Is this an acceptance error or am I missing something?

It maybe. Often the wrong rejection reasons are marked. Did you have Metadata that pertains to a current event?

Yes. It was a series of photographs of various dragonflies in grass and water. More than half were accepted, but one was rejected with this strange wording.

Did you accidentally tick the Illustrative Editorial checkbox instead of the Gen AI checkbox?

I'm pretty sure that's what happened to me. I've caught myself almost clicking it in the past.

1) A dragonfly doesn't qualify as Illustrative Editorial content. Looks like you checked the wrong box. 

 

Read your Stock Contributor Guide for more details about what Illustrative Editorial content means & is used for.

2) Fix the quality issues and resubmit your dragonfly for regular commercial use. 

Good luck.

Thank you for your help, friends. I won't send it again, there are already a lot of my dragongants there 😁😉.
