I'm talking about people that has been enforcing the same policy as Commons has on the Spanish Wikipedia previously. At es: we have been enforcing an "only free material" policy for two years, while uploads were closed just a few months ago. Being able to learn how to perform the same task in Commons is easy: just learn how to use a few templates and you are ready.
In Commons I have deleted more than 1.500 pictures and nobody (but obvious vandals) have complained about. I one case I restored about 20 images deleted because nsd/nld because the user kindly asked and gave good reasons: deletin an image is no big deal, it can be restored. I think I'm I useful to Commons, but of course I don't know how to use every single template and procedure available.
So I'm not asking to remove the 200 edits policy, I'm asking people (like you) to support the nomination of these experienced people from es: as Commons admins.

Admins don't have a monopoly on doing good work. :)
I think it's important enough that admins be well invested and
integrated into commons practices, and it's easy enough to become an
admin on commons (~200 edits) that I wouldn't be inclined to support a
fast path at this time.
