I just sent this to wikien-l asking for helpers. Presumably there are tags, etc. for non-admin patrollers to tag suspect images. Something like this posted to other language Wikipedias would be a good idea, I suspect.

Commons is currently suffering a problem of a metric shitload of 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.
(I whined enough about it on commons-l myself that I'll be diving into shitwork on Commons soon as well ...)
