aphperspective Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Has this ever happened to anybody? This morning i was taking shots in a farmers market, came across a small group of pro life supporter anti abortionists. Took a shot of their demonstration and uploaded to live news as its a big issue at the moment here in Ireland. The image appeared on the live news feed as usual, some time later it was taken down and now is sitting in my "awaiting QC clearance". No reason from Alamy. Any clues please. I have fired of an email to alamy but that won't be acted on untill monday by which time it won't be news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avpics Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I've had them go missing to be told it was a tech issue, and that the appropriate staff won't be in until Monday. The good news (in my case and hopefully yours) was that they'd been sent to the editors so I shouldn't have missed out on the chance of sales in that respect.

John Mitchell Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 A few years ago, I had a live news photo removed for being "not newsworthy" (in retrospect, it was a mistake to upload it) and then sent to QC where it eventually failed. Back then, you were locked out for a month after a failure. However, I don't think this type of thing happens any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i have resolved the issue, and probhably my fault, on rechecking i noticed i had left out the year on the caption, so the full date was incorrect. Lesson learned, always double check before uploading. What confused me was it did not get sent straight back but was on the live news feed for a while.

Colblimp Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I'm looking forward to finding out what Alamy says about this. Like you said, the 8th Amendment is massive in Ireland at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I never include the year in the caption and I haven't had that happen. I once had live news put into QC because the date was set wrong on my camera and it looked like the pics had been taken months before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphperspective Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 All i can say is that the image with the correct date in still up on the live news feed, and Alamy guidelines for news feed asks for the full date, apart from that everything else is the same. No doubt it will get clarified tomorrow and i will share all. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Ah, I've just checked and it seems I do (usually, but not always) include the year on Live News - I must be on autopilot when I do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I once made a mistake with the date, but the news team contacted me to clarify it and then changed it for me. I think there must be a different reason it went into QC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphperspective Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 We shall see, as i said they are both identical images only the date has been corrected on the image that is still on live feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I've had that happen because the date in the meta was wrong. It went up, but kicked back to QC after about 20 minutes. Once i fixed the date and uploaded the image again, it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
