The time in adding images is in preparing them for publication (cropping etc) and adding them to articles.
Amen. Gotta think about file size, contrast, sharpness. If WP aims to compete with EB, we need to get our pictures as close to a professional look as possible.
Special:Unusedimages says that we have 26,121 unused images. I am aware than mediawiki 1.3 has a problem in this area but we don't have a grip on image use at the moment.
It must be a lot less than 26,000. Everytime I randomly sample, almost all of the images are in some article somewhere already. Looking at the list is basically a waste of time until the corrupted data tables get fixed.
