        Ha ha. Don't you hate it when that happens. : Word #9 in description should be 'teaming' not 'taming' non? :) (unless you were actually taming the wildlife) Posted 9 years ago

            Yes, this is intentional. Once you reach a specific class you can edit the descriptions of others, as well as species identifications. This way together we can improve metadata. Should you have the concern that this allows for wrong edits, this rarely happens, but even if it does, all versions are automatically saved:

            The photo owner can restore any version. A hidden feature :)             Posted 9 years ago
