Yes. We sent all images to Commons. We finished this work last month.

Readers who find errors use "Zgłoś błąd" (notify an error) in menu (sidebar)
rather than talk pages.
~1500 edits by month (notifies and answers):

Old talk pages with solved problems are deleted. Talk pages of dynamic IP are
deleted too (we wait ~6 months and delete them by bot). I don't know - is it
standard behavior in other Wikiepdias or specific for pl.

True - we have only ~300 very active users. We rather use main. One of the most
often used slogan is "we work here, not talk". Many times we spend in "flagged
revisions" - so, we are sure, that 90% are free of vandalism.
