Hi all,
To echo Erik's comment, we are still in early planning stages for our multimedia goals this year.
We have been discussing ways for users to provide feedback about media files, but are currently leaning away from comments, which would require time-consuming moderation.
Our goal is to set up community discussions in the fall to discuss a range of curation or feedback options, such as a quick way for users to tag files as useful or inappropriate -- or compare files with each other.
Based on these discussions, we plan to recommend simple features which could be implemented in early 2014, if we can find practical solutions that work for most stakeholders.
We will keep you all posted on how these early plans evolve in coming weeks, and invite you to join our upcoming discussions. Keep in mind that we are still in the process of hiring a team for this multimedia initiative, which is likely to take a few more months, so our development efforts will remain limited until then.
For now, you can learn more about this project here:
More to come.
All the best,
Fabrice

This is linked (I am guessing) to an open RFC on Commons about such a

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Requests_for_Comment/Feedback- I set it up in March, it got a trickle of (positive) feedback but
has not had any comments since May/June. Thoughts appreciated.
