Thanks Nemo,

Why not? Because I didn't know it existed, thanks for telling me about it.

Back to my original question, now updated,

I've just been introduced to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby
which lists articles near your current location and  https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikishootme/ which can show you articles near places your are planning to visit. From the thumbnails it is fairly obvious whether it has an image or not.

Has anyone tried using these in outreach to photographers?

Regards

Why not use https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikishootme/ ?
