Image tags are a lot harder to enforce because people are not immediately prompted to fill in the information because it's not apparent in the image uploader. If we can fix the uploading template to make people enter in that information in order to upload an image that would be easier to enforce (admittedly, I am guilty of not plugging in that information myself. Mind you the majority of the images I upload are for one off characters or villains and the issue they appear in is also where the images come from so it's pretty apparent) I think going forward if we can develop a means to make people enter that information before they upload would be the best way to handle it.

However, I think it's less important than putting ref tags. Not a whole lot of people are going to worry about where the source of an image came from because it's something they can visually see. It's more of a visual medium. Versus quoting what happens in one issue or the other, you don't have that visual component.

Also when you're updating a profile and entering more text, adding the code for references is a much simpler process than it is to add the additional data for images.
