To see what "librarians" typically do, see
http://openclipart.org/wiki/Moderation

It takes as much time as you allow it to take :) I mean, if you *really*
have too much free time,
you can clean up some older images yourself (there's always plenty of them),
or upload PNG
thumbnails manually ;) But usually we just check the new files to see if
they conform to the guidelines,
and we tag them "clean_up" if they don't, and write some reviews. That's
all.

I feel that we should write more positive reviews, not only "Please reduce
the image boundary (see the Guidelines)".
For example, look at ccmixter.org, they have a completely different "review
culture". They actually respond to comments,
even if it's only to say "thank you"  :O
Here are the reviews for one of the recent editor's picks:

Could we try to pamper our artists a bit in this style?

Could I also ask for access to Anonymous account?
I would like to help, for example handle the artist names from Z down to M,
or anything else you suggest.

Cheers,
Papapishu
