I just discovered wikishootme via this thread, thank you. Looking forward
to using it.
Jonathan: I've never done that sort of outreach, just photo contests. But
sending such a list to a photo archive or local photographer, & asking for
representative photos, is a nice idea. You might ask
Geograph.org if they
did similar outreach.
Magnus:
Wikidata has more items with images than any single
Wikipedia (save en)
As it shoot be.
