Commons is currently suffering a problem of a metric shitload of rubbish and copyvios, and not enough admins to do the cleanup work. Can anyone here help?
Patrollers who speak multiple languages are particularly valuable in this regard, but I expect anyone good would be reasonably welcome once they can show a reasonable amount of work on Commons itself. Spanish and Portuguese speakers are particularly encouraged at present, because es: and pt: only allow image uploads directly to Commons.

There's something wrong when images are tagged for speedy (bad license), then after 1 month of due date a newbie admin comes and kills the images, and then gets yelled and scolded since the images were not supposed to be speedied but rather let sit on the backlog while others take time to sort them out and change their licenses..
Im only guessing that's causing some admins beiong less proactive.
