Problem is, when somebody translate article from en.wiki and copy all images, it will display even if they have "incompatibile licence" - and who will check it? And there would be many problems with some people which will not agree with deleting these images from articles. Soulition would be, if there will be some table of wikis which do not allow such images - and servers will not dispaly this images on these wikis.

Hoi, Incompatible how ? The fact that some wikis allow for licenses that Commons does not allow for does NOT make them incompatible. It means that they use licenses in addition to Commons.. Technically that is no big deal at all. Thanks, GerardM

Just a word of caution about collecting all images in commons. A while ago, at least, some local wikis had images with license terms incompatible with commons and vice versa. I recall very simple logos of companies, and several types of "fair use" derivatives.
If that is still so, we have an obstacle that may prevent us from both moving images, and even linking to them under some local laws.
Technically, I agree with the idea quoted below.

What I suspect is more likely, and probably makes more sense, is to converge the images themselves to all live in one place. So if the same fair-use image was used on multiple fair-use wikis, it would only be stored once (though each fair-use wiki would retain it's own File page for it). Such a structure should also make transfers to Commons much easier -- compared to the copy-and-paste by bot at the moment, which loses all the file-page history and most of the upload history.
