Appreciation is always welcome and a sign of good upbringing, and, having uploaded some couple hundred images, I know full well how dully repetitious it can get. But that said, the Image Policy is an obligation on the uploading user, not the administrative team. Each user is responsible for sourcing and licensing his or her own images.

While we're on the subject, though, I randomly picked this image (read: it's the first one listed) to check out. The licensing seems fine, but the source ("Manticoran ribbon from the Honorverse series") is too broad. Saying something is "from the Honorverse series" is somewhat akin to saying something is "from the Star Wars series"—even when true, too vague. Each image must be sourced to where an image originally appeared. If, for example, it was on a book cover, then that specific book is the source (and the licensing template would then be Bookcover). If the image first appeared on the author's website as a sort of "extra canon fun facts" thing, then the series should be part of the source, but the website link must be included as well.

If you have any specific questions about how to source something, please let me know.
