I recently got a similar minor thrill out of seeing that one of my Flickr photos was transferred to Commons. I usually transfer them only after having the species pictured identified, but apparently someone was looking for CC-licensed pictures of wasps on Flickr and uploaded mine to Commons despite it lacking the exact species name:

I agree with you; the system works. ^^

A few weeks ago, visiting a friend in London, I did the usual quick
round of museums; when at the Imperial War Museum, I took a pile of
photographs of various exhibits. I put them on flickr, and made a
mental note to put them on Commons at some point. Of course, what with
one thing and another, I never got round to it.
Since then, someone's transferred several over to be used as
illustrations for a handful of enwp articles, used one as the basis
for writing another article entirely, and left me a very nice note to
explain this...
I can't help but shake the feeling that our system *works* :-)
