Uh... if it just says "these images have been

do you want to transfer them to the Commons?" I would have to say no.
Transferring images is a good opportunity to re-examine the licenses
and sources provided for many images on local projects, which are
often quite suspect! Transferrers should be quite stringent in
requiring a source (that if online, is actually *checked*) and a
license justification - for non "(PD/GFDL/whatever)-self" items. For
self created items, some common sense is needed... low res items
should generally be treated with a great deal of suspicion.
I agree very strongly with Brianna on this. Commons should be extremely
hardcore about sourcing and license checking... this is a great point in
the overall workflow to do a rigorous second check on anything being
brought from individual projects.
