[Wikipedia-l] Require confirmed email address to upload images?

I agree, at least on it.wp there are so many images that were uploaded with
no indication whatsoever of their origin and we have to delete them even if
they're likely to be own work by the uploader who has disappeared in the
meantime. One can then not reply to emails, but at least we would have made
an effort to keep the images.
