--- Comment #57 from Maryana Pinchuk <[email protected]> ---
I just took a look at the deletion stats -- while the autoconfirmed change did
decrease the total number of uploads coming from the in-article upload button,
as opposed to the Uploads menu item in the site navigation menu (in-article
uploads dropped to 25% of all mobile web uploads, whereas they had previously
accounted for 50%), the overall deletion rate doesn't look to have been
affected: 66% of images uploaded from mobile web in the 3 days pre and post
autoconfirmed change have since been deleted. Since it's been over 2 weeks
since the change went live, and since these images tend to be fairly
stringently scrutinized by the Commons community, it's pretty safe to say
that's probably the majority of the egregious violators. (So, Steinsplitter, I
don't think the 80% junk rate you quote above is entirely accurate.)

Implementing the autoconfirmed gate on the Uploads menu item would be a good
first step, and we can reevaluate from there.
