We currently have a large number of file uploads

So the floor is open! What course of action should we take?
* Notify all uploaders
with unknown copyright files
* Sort out
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Files_with_unknown_copyright_status
* Move all good files to Commons
* Delete all bad files
* Disable local uploads
You probably want to get some Commons users involved. This is not the
first time this is happening.
I would hesitate on that -- Commons seems a highly hostile environment for
the sort of ad-hoc screenshots that we expect and use on a wiki dedicated
to software documentation and development like
mediawiki.org.
