Wrong. Perhaps you should read the ToU, and ask instead of making assumptions. Originally files were uploaded using the promote tool, and once they were vetted by staff and did not breach the ToU, they were then "promoted", the bot also named the images and put them on the wiki. The logs aren't the gospel or single source of truth because they are regularly hidden when they contain some breach of the ToU, and staff can do some things server side that don't show up on the logs.

Staff don't have to necessarily check every media  for copyright violations when they periodically randomly review them, unless these are blatantly obvious. If anything the user / admin who uploaded the image might have allegedly violated the copyright laws and breached the ToU by doing so.
