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?

Given the experience I just had with a new user, I'd think that disabling uploading for users without a userpage and/or new users (1 month?) would be a good idea.
