I fully agree - every day I'm trying to see all newimages on special:newimages and I try to delete all copyvio-looking images. I know that it's a bit agressive, but I think, that blanking user's upload is the best method of saying ''hi, something is wrong with your images''.
Er, I hope you write them a note explaining what they're doing wrong?! Simply deleting someone's images tells them nothing about what mistakes they're making, and therefore does not help them to avoid making them in the future.
Writing notes is hard when you have to do it hundreds of times; are there any decent templates which explain these things for various cases? If so, what are they and where are they listed?
No, but there's nothing stopping anyone creating them.
I do find time and time again, that people simply ignore generic warnings though, whereas a short, sharp, "stop doing X because Y, see policy Z, if you need help see W, if you continue to ignore this advice you may be blocked and your images deleted" tends to be more effective.
