FW: [Clipart] Clipart cleaning (was: Artists Signing Clipart)

Hmmm... It seems that I can't add the cleanup tag to the submitions... It 
just doesn't appear among the tags one I submit the changes. And it's not a 
browser cache problem, i've checked it.

I tried it on http://openclipart.org/cchost/media/files/rickvanderzwet/1599 
for example.

Please could you have a look at that problem?

Thanks!
Molumen
