I could see adding an {{information incomplete}} (do we have one
already?) to images that meet our minimum requirements to stay on
commons, but are lacking details - often images are uploaded from some
other site, people not realizing that there is a definitive source with
more information.
That's a good idea! At least then if a gallery says "But you don't
have complete information" we can say "There's the 'so fix it' tag,
your information would be most welcome and will be added."
And how should we know that there is more information available
somewhere?
Perhaps if it were not an {{information incomplete}} but rather a {{Museum or Gallery collection}} template - which says "this image is taken from the online catalogue of a gallery or museum, more information about it can be found at the institution's website." That way it does not matter which institution the image comes from, nor does it matter whether the metadata/attribution/citation is complete or incomplete. What it does mean is that people know there is another place they can go to get information if we have not yet included it.
Furthermore, this should apply to images from a Gallery or Museum website that have been copied into Commons. If the original painting/photo etc. is out of copyright then there is no problem with us copying from their website. If the original painting is IN copyright then we shouldn't be taking photographs of the painting at all. They have the professional technology to take the proper photographs in the first place so we should not be going around taking poor quality shots and thereby undermining them and getting them offside - it will hurt us in the long term and not improve our content much in the short term.
Please comment on this - could we have a template and associated category that says "this image is from a gallery's collection"?
Best,
