On a more general note: in my opinion an uploader is
ALWAYS responsible for
correct and complete license and source information. It is not a duty for an
admin to go and get it when either is missing, nor should the Commons admin
chase al around the Wikimedia landscape to notify an uploader on his home
wiki(s).
It is the responsibility of admins to ensure no policy violations occur, to
notify users of possible violations and/or missing information and educate
users where needed.
Requiring admins to follow each and every link in search for information
regarding an image is definately not the way to go, in my opinion.
In my opinion the way to go would be to use common sense. If an image
description says it's a crop of another image, looking at that image
description would be a common sense thing to do.
Of course, if common sense isn't required, and any image without a tag
is immediately deletable without any further checks, then images
shouldn't be allowed to be uploaded without tags in the first place.
