Image sourcing is mandatory

From WP:V

• "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth" (emphasis original)

From WP:IUP

• Nutshell statement: "fully describe images' sources and copyright details on their description pages" (emphasis mine)
• Requirements: "Always specify on the description page where the image came from (the source) and information on how this could be verified" (emphasis mine)
• Adding images: "Before you upload an image, make sure that ... you can prove that the image is in the public domain" (emphasis mine)

From WP:AGFC

• Good faith and copyright: "Editors have a proactive obligation to document image uploads, etc."
