Uncategorized images: What we're dealing with here is a total lack of respect to the rules. In most cases these images have no license info and they can be tagged with {{subst:nld}}. Many of them don't have adequate source information, and can be tagged with {{subst:nsd}} as well. If the image does have written information about license, but no tag, you should add a copyright tag. If an image is a copyright violation, mark it with {{Copyvio}} or delete it straight away.

Only in rare cases will the images be included in a gallery. Try to place the images in a category if you can, but always educate the uploader to link their images. For that you can use {{Please link images}}.
