Something like that ("review before uploaded media is public") I believe is already being taken into consideration by the Usability Initiative.
However I don't quite see what that has to do with the subject ;-)
It's not about preventing data from getting onto Commons. The warning is not an excuse like "Sorry, we haven't deleted all the bad stuff yet, there's a lot coming in every day".
It would be a warning more like "Some of our content" -(which we will keep)- " may not be suited for minors etc. etc. sex, shocking w/e" - read the Village pump discussion.

Really all we need to do is impliment a review process for uploaded media that way we address not only scope but copyright, derivative wroks, FOP, permission and licensing issues before the image is available for use, something like a flagged revisions. Providing it has an auto review for approved contributors so as not to create unmanagable back logs it should be a relatively fast process.

Hi -- I'm one of the WMF staff programmers working on Commons Usability.
And by "one of", I mean "the". ;)
Reiterating arguments I made at the Village Pump, I'd like to note on
this list that in my professional opinion, this would be a step
backwards for usability.
If you feel that the purpose of Commons is not obvious to visitors, I
suggest a tagline that appears at the top of every page.

My suggestion would be something like "A vast library of educational
images, movies, and sounds that anyone can use or contribute to."
