New stamps problem

Why are you adding the template {{Flickrreview}} to the stamp uploads? It just causes confusion as the FlickreviewR bot cannot find a Flickr source, so places the image to the category Category:Unsourced Flickr images reviewed by FlickreviewR that a human then has to review and fix. Of course these images were never on Flickr in the first place. Ww2censor (talk) 19:50, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

• I didn't know that I was. Was this added automatically in the Upload Wizard? Bobdatty (talk) 21:10, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

"Why are you adding the template {{Flickrreview}} to the stamp uploads?" is what you asked me. I did not purposefully put them there. I used the normal upload wizard.

I did notice, however, that a flickr review notice came up after I did the uploads. I can't explain it. Can you? Bobdatty (talk) 13:53, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

• OK. It just happened again. I went through the upload process and could not find any mention of FLICKR, but after it was published, the flickr review was there. I'm stumped. Bobdatty (talk) 14:16, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Well, after you upload images, maybe you can check them and deleted the flickreview tag, so someone else does not have to figure out what is going on. I don't know why this is happening as I have not uploaded any files recently; must try some. BTW, I suggest using the piped link to the enwiki article like this [[:en:United States Post Office Department|United States Post Office Department]] as the source for US stamp images.
