Will newcomers have sufficiently good judgment when looking at recommendations?

Most newcomers have sufficiently good judgment when looking at recommendations that are easy-to-find, concise, and simple with little or no technical details.  Newcomers are not likely to search for recommendations that are hidden or look at recommendations that are not sufficiently clear or written in complex language with too many technical details. This impact on their judgment and they tend to do things in their own way as a result. This is based on behavioral observation of newcomers during the Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos.

@T Cells -- thanks for joining this conversation. It's good to hear that you think newcomers can apply good judgment to images. When you say that we should avoid "technical details", what kind are you referring to? Do you mean that we shouldn't expose too much of how Wikidata and Commons work behind the scenes, so that the newcomer can just focus on the task?
