* I support the general idea of establishing a userfriendly, low-hanging-fruit-approach on getting user feedback to improve our descriptions & metadata. The Library of Congress is using Flickr for the very same reason. Some images [http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2179172498/ like this] feature +400 comments - some of them useful, some of them not. A technically AFT based comment feature on Commons is a tool worth experimenting with and could be the incentive for a more sophisticated solution. File discussion pages are rarely used by an average user/IP to improve descriptions & metadata and error report (like the Bundesarchiv's) are an exception so far.

* {{support}} - I know the experience on English Wikipedia was poor; there are good reasons to think even turning it on globally on Commons would be nothing like as bad. Turning it on in a way that allows control over where it's applied seems like a good way to see whether it can be useful here - especially where we can get engagement from institutional contributors. (I suspect one of the things it will end up catching a lot of is frustration from people not sure about whether they can use an image or how to credit it, etc; but if that's a pattern that emerges, that's something we can try harder to address.)
