In response about the discussion on wikien-l about fair use and placeholder images for biographies (and other things?) I have written a new tool, WatchFlickr.
WOW! That is genius. I just gave it the French department of Finistere, and it came up with some really good photos. I would love to see tools like this integrated better into Wikipedia, so that everyone can know about and use them.
Given a category (at selectable depth), it retrieves all articles in
that category, checks if it lacks an image, and if so, searches Flickr
An option to include pages that already have one or more images would be good.
for relevant CC-BY and CC-BY-SA images. It shows found flickr
thumbnails, links to the wikipedia and flickr page, and to Flominator's Flinfo tool.
Not that due toolserver problems, several wikipedias, notably en, are not available to search right now. German wikipedia works, though, in case you want to test.
In what way doesn't the en "work"? Is it just running off an old dump? Or when I search "en" is it actually searching "de"?
