Is there a reason that Wikidata can't just use the same images that
Wikipedia does?
For example, this article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Frost_House
has a nice public domain photo that someone contributed back in 2010, but
it's not referenced from Wikidata
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7964895
Why couldn't these all be referenced automatically?

Hi all,
I cordially invite you to donate some time and add an image from Wikimedia
Commons to Wikidata this year. For inspiration you may choose one of the
recent Wiki Loves Monuments prize winning photos from your local
competition being added to the Wikidata item about that monument, one of
your favorite paintings from your local museum being added to the Wikidata
item about that painting, an image of christmas cookies that you made that
you could add to an item about that type of cookie, or anything else that
has an item but no image yet.
To help you overcome the difficulties with editing on Wikidata, here is a
short film by User:Jan_Ainali_(WMSE) on how to add an image to an item:

Thanks, good luck and let's hope we see some structured data for Commons
in 2016,
Jane
