I am working on a new JavaScript tool to ease patrolling of images. It can rearrange galleries (or gallery structures, including categories and some Special: pages) to show one thumbnail per row, and data (text, size, categories) of the images next to it. Try
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Newimages?withJS=MediaWiki:Gallery...
and click on "GalleryDetails" in the sidebar toolbox. Note that it might take a few seconds to get all the information (via API), during which nothing appears to happen.
Please have a look, tell me if you like it, and make suggestions. I was thinking of adding "no source"/"no license" links next.
Cheers, Magnus
