[edit] Put images in Category:Images with unknown copyright status?

Should this template put the image in Category:Images with unknown copyright status, the same as Template:No license? Stephen Turner (Talk) 11:59, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] What is the point of this tag?

Why do we we even have this tag? We say on Special:Upload that "Images found on websites or on an image search engine should not be uploaded to Wikipedia" and yet one of the menu options is "Found the image somewhere" which results in this tag which essentially dooms the uploaded image to near-automatic deletion. Why even let people upload images with this tag? DHowell 01:41, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Because people are going to do it anyway. If we don't have this "trap" tag, then they may well choose a PD tag or a free license tag, and unless an RC patroller catches them out, it means the copyvio doesn't get caught. Stifle (talk) 22:54, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Instead of placing it in Category:Images with unknown copyright status, we should make this a redirect to the speedy I3, improper license, I4 lack of licensing or I7, invalid fair-use template, almost all images that comeout of there are copyvios. No need to waste seven days to delete it. Jaranda wat's sup 02:51, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
