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."
Another thing that I think people are ambivalent about
is making
explicit categories of "files from institution XYZ", because it might
seem like preparing the contents of an overzealous lawyer's C&D letter.
But I think we should make a habit of it anyway, link back to
institution's article(s), etc - it looks more like we're welcoming
participation rather than surreptiously sneaking in some images and
covering our tracks.
Definitely. I'd say it's a useful, informative and educational
category to add to images of things in galleries, i.e. where the
physical object is. Much as we add physical locations of buildings,
etc.
