This is great! We need to continue improving how we detect which articles
need a lead image - this is in the mobile web team's backlog of things to
do.
In the beta version of the mobile site, we actually expose similar
functionality (hopefully it will graduate to stable in the
not-to-distant-future). If you opt in to the beta site (nav menu ->
settings -> select beta), you will see a new item in the nav called
'Nearby'. This uses the GeoData extension (
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GeoData) to find articles near your
current location. You'll note that articles with a lead image are displayed
with a thumbnail of that image in the nearby list - if they do not have an
image, a camera icon is displayed again (with the intention of making it
easy to identify nearby articles missing photos).

Nice! Do you use the Geonames lookup as well, or do
you have some
other way of identifying articles relevant for a particular location?

The "add image to article"
functionality in the mobile view is such an
awesome idea. I liked it so much I created a simple page suitable for
viewing on a mobile device that highlights local articles that need an
image:

Nice! More powerful (?) but less immediate, there's also
