I'd think you'd want a new tag {{untagged}} (yes, lots of
self-referential hilarity potential), so that you're not expressing
an opinion on any information already on the page. And if the bot
drops a note on the talk page within a day, then many of the new but
legit uploaders can go back and do the fixup work themselves.
