I'm really struggling here to come up with something that can't be read as condescending, which I'm really not. It's just that no admin likes to have "the A-bomb" dropped on them and admins don't get paid or educated to handle it.

The DC Database values sourcing, tagging and referencing. I know we're strict, but by no means the strictest. It's quality control. There are too many sites, even wikis, where there is such a lax policy it's not helpful. We like to be helpful, and therefore, we place sole responsibility in the uploader. We've got enough back log as it is. We've got to close the faucet while we're mopping up the mess. This is not unreasonable.

I can't really explain the image policy any clearer than the help page, especially if you're vague about what you don't understand. Looking at your last contribution, you did not remove editor's notes, which has neither to do with the template nor the policy. It's basic wikitext.

I won't be the only admin that will tell you this: just because you're on the spectrum, doesn't mean rules suddenly get changed or no longer count. Rules are the same for everyone. And people will point you at them. Telling admins not to point you at rules will usually not bring out their good side.
