bet that's more than half of them right there. The process of tagging them
as no source and then waiting a week is just way too long and too
susceptible to error. It's the UPLOADER'S duty to make sure he/she is
meeting license requirements, if they aren't met the image should go. It
shouldn't be the duty of the reviewer to prove it and that's usually the
perception.
When you consider that some of these have already been here for a long
time without attracting attention, one more week is obviously a very
short time to wait. It avoids the error of creating unnecessary
confusion. Nobody's challenging the uploader's duty, or passing that
duty on to the reviewer; your unique perception does not make it so.
There's no reason to panic about this.
