Hm, I am not so happy with the batch delete at all. Probably it's necessary to clean up from time to time.

The reasons why are the following:
 * If you look at an old version of a page, you won't see the images, because they are deleted. Sometimes, I remember a good image, especially from the info-boxes. Then someone changed the page, removed the image, uploaded a new one under a new name, and didn't mind to keep the old one in a gallery. After that, the batch delete kills it - excellent picture gone. :-(
 * I uploaded some LotR-related pictures here for an external forum. Batch delete found and erased those - my own fault, probably shouldn't have done this or used them on my private blog as well.

I know, that we content mods and admins can even restore deleted pictures, but I can't keep the pictures of all 1,130 pages (at the moment) in mind.
