Could every editor be obliged to attempt to find that supporting
documentation for every image in every article they edit? I really
doubt it.
For everything other than self-created pictures, yes. If the uploader
cant produce documentation, delete the image.
I don't think that's a good idea. I've uploaded numerous images after
negotiating a free license with the copyright holder, for which there is no
supporting documentation other than my assertion (barring private emails).
(One sharp fellow PGP-signed his agreement to license some photos under the
GFDL. I couldn't verify his key through the web of trust, though, nor could I
find *absolute* proof that he was the copyright holder. We have to start
trusting at some point...)
