[WikiEN-l] A Solution to the Image Problem

Wikipedia's got a problem with images. 2000 of them are uploaded
every day, and most of them have inadequate source information, an
incorrect license tag, or an invalid fair-use claim.
A quick and easy way to reduce the flood of images would be to remove
the link to Special:Upload from the sidebar, and instead point the
"upload file" link to [[Wikipedia:Image use policy]]. If users have
to hunt around for a bit for the actual upload link (and hopefully
read some of the page), they're less likely to upload every image they
can find on Google Image Search.
Thoughts?
