 Drafted a sort-of policy here:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Watermarks

Please take a look and edit, fix, discuss, etc. if you have suggestions or
if I made any mistakes. Thinking on it now, we could perhaps condense the
info by moving suggestions and tips to another page and linking them from
the "official policy" page, which only contains the basic rules?

Input much appreciated :)
