I am also *against* such a proposal for two reasons:
- putting too many rules and making it complicated, the result is making 
in not fun for the participants, so I expect a lot less people to 
participate. getting new people to start contributing is not one of the 
purposes?
- what if we have 10 not crap, but average pictures of certain monument 
and someone want to send the 11-th, which is *really good*, we 
discourage that?

On a constructive tone, I think this is easily solved at the jury level, 
just make the Wikipedia usefulness one of the noting criteria, even if 
the picture is wonderful done technically and artistically, if there are 
other reasonable pics of that monument on Commons, just don't give it 
the maximum score - in Romania the jury gave 3 notes: artistic, 
technical and usefulness, each pondered: 50%, 30%, 20%.
