For quite some time, we have attempted to encourage people to provide rationales. The results of this effort have been dismal at best.
The creator of this bot has come under fire for performing this work manually. One of the main complaints is that the effort to tag images could just as readily be spent providing rationales. This is not the case; the uploader and/or user of each fair use image is the person who should provide the rationale. A non-involved editor can not know under what principles the user of an image intended such use as fair use.
The use of fair use, copyrighted images on the Wikimedia servers is covered by United States law. Our policies with respect to this bot's actions are based on that law. Please see Fair_use#Purpose_and_character.
Read this talk page before registering your complaint. It is likely someone has already registered a similar complaint, and that complaint will have been given an answer.
Bug reports are very welcome; tagging images as this bot is doing per policy is not a bug.
