I find that pityful. Really pityful. Really really pityful.
To be fair, you were asked to tag them on December 16th, 2004.

Seems like plenty of warning to me.

Hi! Thanks for uploading the following image:
▪ Image:DjeDje.jpg
▪ Image:Dune.JPG
I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you
add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if
you release it under the GNU Free Documentation License, {{fairuse}}
if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means,
just let me know at my talk page where you got the images and I'll tag
them for you. Thanks so much. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk, automation

P.S. You can help tag other images at User:Yann/Untagged_Images.
Thanks again.
To be fair, the above looks like an automated message, so it doesn't
actually state that fair use tags are acceptable on user pages.
I think you should not play on words if you were fair.
A year ago, fair use was authorized, with no mention if it was
authorized in the encyclopedic content or in the user page.
Amongst the two untaggued pages listed above, one was a picture of my
daughter and labelled as such. It was clearly not meant for encyclopedic
space.
Besides, see the message just below as well :

It says
P.P.S. I hope all is well with you, and that you are enjoying your
labors with Angela and Jimbo. :)
Looking here, I'd like to add that the following images need tags:
▪ Image:Acacia.JPG
▪ Image:Dessication.JPG
▪ Image:SablePlante.JPG
▪ Image:Hoggar.JPG
▪ Image:Hoggar2.JPG
▪ Image:Hoggar5.JPG
▪ Image:Oasis.JPG
▪ Image:Sahara3.JPG
▪ Image:Sahara5.JPG
Any more tags would be a great help. Thanks!

Does that look like an automated message ? The P.P.S. ?
Look, I find the general behavior which consist in saying to an editor
"you are allowed to do that", then a year later, to rudely delete work
without warning, upon the reason it is no more allowed now to do that, a
bit difficult to admit.
But I find the behavior which consist one year later to deny that what
was done a year before, was authorized at that time, much more difficult
to admit. Fair use was authorized a year ago. Period.
