Thank you. I greatly appreciate those who are able to have a calm discussion, like yourself, yet make a case for what they believe. It's just much harder to do so when others are, ah, more spirited.

As for the pictures, traditionally that would be the route to take. Through my wiki experience I have discovered easier ways to deal with images (outside licensing, which is loads of fun *sarcasm*). While images such as those that are inappropriate or bad quality or videos that are deleted have to be found the old fashion way, duplicates can be found through a script I put on the wiki here. For unused images, I used a combination of pages and tools. First I use one of the Special pages: Special:UnusedFiles. Here, with the combination of a personal script, the names of the files are displayed by themselves and I copy them into a semi-automated wiki editing browser to delete them. There are also other scripts and bots too that can do the job faster.

At this point you can help by 1) placing any images or videos that you uploaded that you want deleted as a Candidate for Deletion. 2) You can go through the pages the traditional way (if you wish) looking for poor quality images and do the same. 3) You can go to the first page I linked to (the script) and look at duplicates. While doing this I look at a number of factors to choose the right file to delete. First, what does it link to? More pages and articles take prescience. Less pages, or just talk pages are the ones I lean to. Second, the quality. Which is better? And lastly, the file name itself. If one is more descriptive, such as Jack Holding Kim.jpg, keep it over one like 685dkHw4ch90F.png.

From your calm and collectivism and your eagerness to help, I think you would make a great Admin if there was ever a discussion for another. Good luck, and post if you have more questions/concerns.
