the way i see it there are three ways out of the
situation.
1: spanish wikipedia reenables uploads and goes back to dealing
with most of thier
own copyvio problems.
2: the spanish wikipedia users/admins make a
significant effort
to help deal with the copyvio problems with spanish users on
commons.
3: commons adopts and extreme zero tolerance
policy towards
anyone who appears spanish
Of the ways out the third option is the least favorable, but it
is also the only
option that can be implemented without your help.
There is 4th way:
4. Do something with this:
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:Upload
Do not send people directly on commons - prepare a manual with most
important informations in Spanish language, that everybody should know
and write, that if you understand that, you can go to commons (and
link to commons at this moment, not earlier).
Doing that would still require
cooperation from the admins on es, also
while it would improve things i'm not convinced it would improve them enough
that we would feel comfortable handling them without help (btw how many
active spanish admins does commons have at the moment?).
