[Commons-l] Commons: An initial notice to reduce surprises

[Krinkle]

Something like that ("review before uploaded media is public") I  
believe is already being taken into consideration by the Usability  
Initiative.

However I don't quite see what that has to do with the subject ;-)
It's not about preventing data from getting onto Commons. The warning  
is not an excuse like "Sorry, we haven't deleted all the bad stuff  
yet, there's a lot coming in every day".

It would be a warning more like "Some of our content" -(which we will  
keep)- " may not be suited for minors etc. etc. sex, shocking w/e" -  
read the Village pump discussion.
