I had this idea a little while back, but I've only just got around to making a mockup of it...
The idea is that when you choose a category to submit to, if it's the first time you've posted anything there, an information screen like the one shown pops up. The box will only allow you to select that category once you've read through it, ticked the check box and then clicked OK. Obviously, this example is for the anthro gallery, but it could be applied to all of them (except of course Film and Animation, which probably don't need it!). A random example image taken from the gallery's recent Daily Deviations is shown at the top right of the box (without the big "EXAMPLE" label!) to provide a visual aid as to what is supposed to be in the gallery. Why only Daily Deviations? They're the most likely to be correctly categorised! The gallery director(s)/moderator(s) are shown at the bottom of the box as well, in case the deviant needs to contact them for more information, as well as making the introduction to the gallery just that little bit more personal. The text in the box would be fully editable by the gallery director(s) for that gallery, in case (for example) they find they need to add to the examples of things that don't belong there, or to edit the gallery description. Edit: It's also been suggested that it should be shown every time, and a "Do not show this again" checkbox should be added (suggested addition from =eldris and ^stigmatattoo) Aaaaaand that's pretty much it! Let me know what you think! Should this be implemented and are there any tweaks that should be made? Daily DeviationGiven 2009-01-29Gallery Welcome Concept by =davecheesefish. The suggester says, "This would be an extremely useful addition to deviantART's submission system and may help a great deal with preventing a large proportion of miscats."

I like the example image. A picture's worth 1,000 words after all
I also like the idea about the gallery directors being there. It gives people a bit of insight about who runs that gallery. I might just add 'What Belongs Here' and 'What Does Not Belong Here' in big bold letters, then a short description. Pretty much what you have, I would just put the labels in bold so people can easily see them.
Good idea on the headings - anything that makes them stand out can't be bad!
I didn't believe it myself, but I actually quite enjoyed making this... I've got some more ideas for dA so I might go ahead and mock them up too

It would help quite a few new artists get a hang of the categories.

I really should get on with making mock-ups of other ideas I've had... before I forget them
