Well we do our very best. I don't want to go into details why deletion on 
Commons is so much more work than in a single wikipedia, you all probably 
know it already very good. But one is for certain: We don't need more admins, 
we need more active admins and we need a change of mind of the people using 
Commons that Commons is more than a wikipedia helper project.

There are also some things that would help Commons much more than you'd 
imagine:

Burn all Fair Use images on *all* Wikimedia projects *now*. And I really mean 
burn. Just *mass delete* them on sight ASAP without looking back.

I am really sick educating people afterwards that Commons is not en.wikipedia 
for example. So many people from wikipedia simply dump their stuff in Commons 
and just don't get the difference that Commons is not their Wikipedia.

So please in every local wiki educate people that Fair Use is a clear NO. 
Please make this everywhere your most important image copyright policy.

I know that this sounds radical to some of you but it would really help us a 
lot and it is worth the trouble (the trouble will quickly decrease after 
you're mainly done with fair use deletions).
