:No. I don't think they would be educational enough to bring the full (massive) archive into Commons, though I believe there is a topic by topic case for representative samples of (historical) events, locations, regiments, equipment, etc. I may import another few hundred this weekend, and keep an eye on new releases, but I'm not going to start a 100,000 image upload as they are, frankly, rather mixed quality even though some images are wonderfully good, or highly interesting and relevant for Wikipedia and other projects.

:However, I have already updated Commons with all remaining images from the defense news service. Commons previously had these done, but nobody had been importing them since last summer, so there was a backlog. The news service is far more selective (around 100 photos per month I think) and high quality compared to the full joint defense images database. I'm planning on keeping the news service images updated (periodically, by hand), but that appears to only be a couple of hundred images per month, and some days there are no images released. --[[User:Fæ|Fæ]] ([[User talk:Fæ#top|talk]]) 16:50, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
