To get an idea as to what sort of image tagging is currently being used, I did a survey of the license tags applied to the 2000 most recent images uploaded (which represents about 24 hours and 20 minutes of uploading). Of those images, 134 were duplicate uploads or otherwise not accounted for, leaving 1,866 images to check for tags. The detailed results are at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Carnildo/upload_stats
For 1,866 images uploaded, 2,014 license tags were applied:
745 images were tagged as some sort of "fair use". The vast majority used one of the boilerplate templates, with most of the images being tagged as screenshots, covers, logos, and promotional images. Only 26 generic "fair use" tags were used, with most of them being "fair use in".
This is good news actually! Boilerplates can be handled en masse with tools as we improve our policy. It's the generic tags that require the one-by-one manual evaluation.
Boilerplates can only be handled en masse if the images are tagged correctly. From what I've seen, there are a whole lot of boilerplated images which are not tagged correctly.
