I hereby request this additional task. -- Cat ^chi? 17:07, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Looks good. There's an existing bot that does this, however more is good. Where are you getting the list? --ST47Talk·Desk 17:11, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

I work on them as I find them :) Auto bots are only effective in a limited manner. I would work on a list if I get on :) -- Cat ^chi? 17:12, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

I can recursively check a category full of fair use images... -- Cat ^chi? 17:13, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

If it's in the user space, will you notify that user? Will you replace or remove the image? ~ Wikihermit 17:14, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

I would remove the image with a notification in the edit summary linking to the policy page. I can warn the user manually. -- Cat ^chi? 17:15, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
