Problem is that this is in practice a far better fit for wikipedia
where such lists are generated in passing than commons.
For example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_History_of_the_World_in_100_Objects#Objects
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/BM/Photos_requested#A_History_of_the_World_in_100_Objects
