There are already other tools that from the lists
will put coordinates
on pictures tagged with an ID as well.
Can you provide some links please? I'm trying to keep up with all the
cool stuff that's happening around the images from WLM, but it's
getting harder (which is a good sign!).
That's exactly one of the weaknesses we
identified in the evaluation: We
have a lot of tools, documentation and other things, but it's not well
structured at all making it impossible to find.
In the specific case of
Romanian monuments, I'm more likely to encounter the other case -
articles or images have coordinated, but the list doesn't - wh only
have about 100 cordinates in the list.
Most of the tools are described at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011/Tools
The flow of information for the coordinates is: List on Wikipedia ->
database -> bot on Commons. So exactly in the wrong direction for you.
This is by the way the reason why I'm not automagicly adding images. I
would create a loop: List on Wikipedia -> image & id in database -> bot
on Commons adds identifier template to image. Image on Commons with
identifier -> compare with list -> bot adds image to list in Wikipedia.
Anyway, back to the coordinates. On Commons we use the coordinates of
the photographer. That's next to the object, but not exact. You could
maybe use a tool like
http://toolserver.org/~locator/coordinates.php here?
