Thanks, Brion. Specifically, could we require that new registered users must have a confirmed email address before uploading? With talk page email notifications as default setting.
I oppose this on Commons, for the reasons I have given in this thread when this was previously brought up: http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2006-June/044555.html
Commons != Wikipedia. Commons is a special case. We've got Enotif enabled, we have globally visible media. I don't think that the arguments made in a thread on a list for a different project, 4-5 months ago, are equally valid when applied to Commons at this point in time.
