Video is much more potentially editable than static images. Consider a 5 minute mini-documentary on [[Hurricane Katrina]], slide-show style, with narration taken straight from the text of the Wikipedia article and images taken from commons to match the narration. There is a *lot* of potential for cooperative editing there, basically as much or more than the text of a Wikipedia article.
The idea is probably ahead of its time, though, because AFAIK there aren't any free (even as in beer) software tools to make such video editing easy, let alone collaborative.

Actually the main problem with you scenario would be trying to meet the different license requirements of the images.
