Source not consistently mentioned for vernacular names/descriptions of species

For most vernacular names, a source (dataset) is mentioned (search "Goudvis" in https://api.gbif.org/v1/species/4286942/vernacularNames?limit=100):

{
"taxonKey": 4286942,
"vernacularName": "Goudvis",
"language": "nld",
"country": "NL",
"area": "Netherlands",
"source": "Catalogue of Life",
"sourceTaxonKey": 142921839
}

For some however it is not, even though a sourceTaxonKey (https://www.gbif.org/species/141117240) and thus the source dataset (https://www.gbif.org/dataset/98940a79-2bf1-46e6-afd6-ba2e85a26f9f) is known:

{
"taxonKey": 4286942,
"vernacularName": "Goudvis",
"language": "nld",
"sourceTaxonKey": 141117240
},

The missing source is also a problem for e.g. descriptions (https://api.gbif.org/v1/species/4286942/descriptions?limit=100):

{
"key": 57575036,
"taxonKey": 4286942,
"type": "native range",
"language": "eng",
"description": "Asia",
"sourceTaxonKey": 141117240
}

Can this be fixed so it is consistent across all vernacular names/desciptions?
