25
If possible, yes, tweaking individual descriptions as needed.
• Upload process: file size, format
26
There's a Copy Down option when uploading to duplicate info, saving some effort
• Own work: Using real name if desired
27
• Searching Commons for related photos; check categories
28
• Searching for background info

• Caption vs description (summarised from background info)
30
• Categories (and over-categorisation)
