I see you got a message in your talk page, I'm pretty sure the deletion
process would have stopped immediately after you put the license you forgot.
By not putting the license tag themselves they're protecting your author's
rights, as they can't be sure you really wanted to license the photos as
cc-by-sa. God knows, maybe you would have written a pissed off email saying
that "the damn civil servants" license your images without asking you...

Like I guess they would have done with anyone's images, including another
fellow admin

You know what? Tagging the other 5 images would have taken much less time
than writing this email, and you would have pissed off fewer people.
