There is currently a discussion at the village pump over redesigning
the placeholder images:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28proposals%29#Redesig…
May be of some importance given how many pages these images now appear
on and that they are starting to appear on other projects.
At the same time I would be interested in knowing if there are any
wikiprojects that think this could be useful for finding images
relating to their area and are prepared to deal with the uploaded
images.
A sample of the images uploaded (not all they keep disappearing off to
commons) can be found at:
