There appear to be a significant number of copyrighted images that have incorrectly labelled as public domain. I'm asking that anyone who feels up to the challenge help identify copyrighted images in Category:Public domain images and replace the {{PD}} template with an appropriate license. For example, use {{Screenshot}} for screen captures taken directly from the films and games, {{cover}} for book and DVD release covers, and {{Fairuse}} for everything else. Thanks!

I can help tackle some of these (1600+ ouch) along with my OOU clean ups. Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 04:29, May 7, 2016 (UTC)
Thanks! Every little bit helps! :) Starstuff (Owl me!) 05:35, May 7, 2016 (UTC)
It's something I planned on doing when renaming all the badly named files on this wiki. Well at least tagging them with {{No file info}} if they had the wrong license / no file information included.
I would highly recommend using a bot to update all of the images that are wrongly tagged as PD and not doing it manually. That way, the job is done quicker and without completely filling up RC in just image changes. Of course, there are no active bots on this wiki... --Sajuuk 08:38, May 7, 2016 (UTC)
I've been sorting some of the pictures today, and right now we're down to the 1300-ish mark. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 21:02, May 7, 2016 (UTC)
When I went through them the largest set were DSC or IMG files and were personal photos from events. A decision will need to be made if PD is the correct license for these or not. Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 21:15, May 7, 2016 (UTC)
