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
what would imo be more sensible though more work to implement would be to require new users on commons to
1: specify thier username and password for thier home project 2: have built a good status on that project (i'm thinking account at least 14 days old, no blocks in last 14 days, edits on 7 distinct days since account creation/last block)
sure the determined will get arround this but it should help keep both the inexperianced and casual troublemakers at bay.
