:::::PD-1923 images are not at all exempt from general requirements of de facto plausibility as to why they belong on the site, but in the case of images which by their nature are fairly obviously (to the informed person) published before 1923 in the United States, such requirements do not necessarily take the form of rigid petty-bureaucratic form-filling. It's the same with many medieval manuscripts etc. The "completely ignorant person must be able to verify" thing is rather strange, since according to that rule, one would have to blindly accept properly-formatted claims, and would not be able to question anything which somehow "looks fishy"... In any case the mechanical adding of a generic boilerplate "No Source Since" template is perfectly useless. The constructive thing to do is to inquire at the [[:en:User_talk:Rjensen|user talk page of active en.wikipedia user Rjensen]], and if you aren't satisfied with the answer there (or wish to skip that step), then take it to a deletion nomination, where these matters can be discussed in detail...

::::::And as expected (and disappointingly so too), that was utterly self-contradicting. If you're not willing to admit you're wrong, feel free to drop the stick and [[w:First law of holes|back off]].
