inthe third point of Turelio its an interesting approach and a good one maybe highlighting the statistics(numbers are the same no matter the language) could be of benefit and constructive in helping new users understand the need for accurancy in the first instance when uploading.
Yesterday in Commons uploaded in the previous 24 hours: 35,000 media files of which the following issues were identified; Copyright violations:500 missing author information:4500 missing licensing or permission: 3000 (Otrs permissions recieved:10) uncategorised:7000 nondescript names:900 media deleted:2000 stats are not actual just fictional to illistrate a thought they could also be for different periods depending on what is the simplist sampling method, a month period would mean less updating of the stats but may render the impact less effective because of high values being uncomprehensible and repetative This could be transcluded wholis or in relivant parts onto every notice template so that all editors, not just new ones are made aware of the work load they are creating for other users.
