I could see adding an {{information incomplete}} (do we have one already?) to images that meet our minimum requirements to stay on commons, but are lacking details - often images are uploaded from some other site, people not realizing that there is a definitive source with more information.
That's a good idea! At least then if a gallery says "But you don't have complete information" we can say "There's the 'so fix it' tag, your information would be most welcome and will be added."
Another thing that I think people are ambivalent about is making explicit categories of "files from institution XYZ", because it might seem like preparing the contents of an overzealous lawyer's C&D letter. But I think we should make a habit of it anyway, link back to institution's article(s), etc - it looks more like we're welcoming participation rather than surreptiously sneaking in some images and covering our tracks.
Definitely. I'd say it's a useful, informative and educational category to add to images of things in galleries, i.e. where the physical object is. Much as we add physical locations of buildings, etc.
