Thanks, Brion. Specifically, could we require
that new registered
users must have a confirmed email address before uploading? With talk
page email notifications as default setting.
I oppose this on Commons, for the reasons I have given in this thread
when this was previously brought up:
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2006-June/044555.html what would
imo be more sensible though more work to implement would be to require new users on
commons to
1: specify thier username and password for thier home project
2: have built a good status on that project (i'm thinking account at least 14 days
old, no blocks in last 14 days, edits on 7 distinct days since account creation/last
block)
sure the determined will get arround this but it should help keep both the inexperianced
and casual troublemakers at bay.
