Hey! I have a clarification question I need to ask. Are members of the administrative team required to give a formal reminder to users of the 24 hour sourcing window for each & every image uploaded?

I've been operating under the assumption that ignorantia legis neminem excusat&mdash;basically, as all users tacitly agree to abide by site policies by virtue of contributing here, every uploading user has the responsibility to source & license all uploads within a 24 hour window regardless of whether or not a notice beyond the initial informational message is issued by the administrative team. Reading the policy language under "Violations" has me doubting myself. To quote: "If a user fails to source or license an image they upload to the wiki, the image will be tagged with and/or  and the user will be warned that the image must be sourced within twenty-four (24) hours or it will be deleted." The language seems a bit vague. The initial warning informing the user of the 24 hour window appears to be a requirement for administrative team members, but I'm not so sure about subsequent messages for each & every image. As I've made an effort to emulate your approach during my tenure as moderator, 99% of the time I give a subsequent reminder for each image uploaded. I'm worried now that I've been improperly enforcing the Policy for the 1% of images I've deleted without giving notice by treating subsequent notices as professional courtesies rather than as formal requirements.
