No, the actual commons main pages. (There are many because of the
versions in other languages). Such as
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page ...

Sure. I list these all the time...

You can find a copy of a recent run here:

There are also a lot of junk pages which do somehow manage to have an
image in them. I often find them by looking for external links in the
main namespace.
