Hi Cornelius! For images which it match against the catalog, it should give accurate information. If it doesn't, use the report link to let us know! You're right though that for images it doesn't find in its catalog, we don't provide any information. That's the equivalent of saying this picture

[Wikitech-l] What to do with TimedMediaHandler
