And here's a little experiment if you want to do the "nearby missing images" remotely: a map of Australia, divided up into 1x1 degree squares, showing the number of items in those squares with no P18, and preloaded links to FIST:

You can also do a link into WD-FIST using an arbitrary set of coordinates, which might help with a tool like this -
https://tools.wmflabs.org/fist/wdfist/index.html?wdq=around%5b625,52.205,0.1...
(1 km from centre of Cambridge)
You get interesting results for capital cities, though...

Very nice!
A few quick comments:
- It keeps asking me to share my location (FF40/Mac), even though I agree.
Maybe a cookie issue?
- This also happens when I click on an item.
- Testing near Wikidata HQ ;-) I found quite a few items without image. Note
that you can construct a link for specific items (as in, items in your results without image) to WD-FIST. Example (three items closest to my location): https://tools.wmflabs.org/fist/wdfist/index.html?wdq=items%5b1975500,629084,...
In this case, I could instantly add an image for two of the three items (I didn't, for demonstration's sake). Maybe worth a thought.
Cheers, Magnus

Hey folks :)
Have you ever wondered what is happening on Wikidata around you? What does Wikidata know about the building next door? Or the tube station a few blocks away? Now you can find out. Head over to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Nearby and you will know. This is another piece in the puzzle to making it easier to get an overview of the data you care about.
Share if you find something cool and unexpected around you!
Cheers Lydia
