Please don't make automated moves.. Commons

Also, creating dupe accounts isn't so bad.. so long as they are dupes
of you and not dupes of someone else.
If that's the only concern, wouldn't that be easy to address by only
uploading/moving old Free images? (presumably if a picture's copyright
status hasn't been discovered in a few months, it won't for a long
time, and being on Commons versus en would be a moot issue).
Because the number of completely bogus claims of free content on En is
rather large... Commons sets a more strict criteria than en has had
historically. There are a large number of images on en accepted with
reasonings like "Someone uploaded this, and I assume they weren't
trying to violate copyright law, thus thus is GFDL" which would be
deleted in a moment..
Experience on commons shows that a large number of the 'free' images
imported from other projects are not free.
The move is a great time to reevaluate the claims made, and we lose
that with mass automatic moves... So what advantage would automatic
moves provide?
