Commons is currently suffering a problem of a metric

rubbish and copyvios, and not enough admins to do the cleanup work.
Can anyone here help?
Patrollers who speak multiple languages are particularly valuable in
this regard, but I expect anyone good would be reasonably welcome once
they can show a reasonable amount of work on Commons itself. Spanish
and Portuguese speakers are particularly encouraged at present,
because es: and pt: only allow image uploads directly to Commons.

shitwork on Commons soon as well ...)

There's something wrong when images are tagged for speedy (bad
license), then after 1 month of due date a newbie admin comes and
kills the images, and then gets yelled and scolded since the images
were not supposed to be speedied but rather let sit on the backlog
while others take time to sort them out and change their licenses..
Im only guessing that's causing some admins beiong less proactive.
