On English Wikipedia there is a list of untagged images, it started at 38 000+, about 6000 of these have been tagged in 5 weeks; see [[Wikipedia:Untagged images]]. From the several hundred I have tagged, 2/10 can be speedied as orphaned fair use images; 7/10 have no source and/or no license information and most likely would only be able to be used as fair use; ~1/10 is a logo, album cover or a gfdl image without a template. Tagging these images is a big drain on contributors time, especially if they aren't admins.
Technically all these images identified as untagged are speediable if they are tagged as no license or no source, so on behalf of the untagged images project I am looking for someone who could write a bot to tag these all these images and notify the up loader.
There needs to be a better mechanism to deal with the lack of copyright information provided for images, and the incorrect copyright information that is being added to images as a result of the license drop down box. Is it possible for all images uploaded to Wikipedia to be tagged as no licence by defalut, forcing the uploader to provide copyright information after the image is uploaded?
