Hi Pete,

There is a special page for the US NRHP at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_National_Register_of_Hist... and I assume other projects have something similar.
Yes, see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database/Unused_images/... You need to have a Commons tracker template and tracker category. Any countries missing?
I'd like to be able to knock an image off this page and have it not come back - is that possible? The reason is that there are multiple pix of some sites and some I just don't want to use.
If you add a photo to the lists all suggestions with the same id will disappear from the page. A bad photo is better than no photo at all.....

I agree that any picture is better than no picture 99.9% of the time. The problem is that the 0.01% of the exceptions end up in the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_National_Register_of_Hist...
There are some true abominations there, which distract from the job which needs to be done in placing the other pix. I could put a transparent placeholder in it's place in the list, but then I'd have to remove it after the contest and good photos of the place wouldn't show up in the unused list. I could comment out the NRHP registration number at Commons, but I don't think that is good precedent. Also I don't think "Ugly as sin on a Sunday" is a possible reason for deletion on Commons. I'm not knocking anybody here, it just looks like this pix were taken by soldiers on their last day before being released by the army, and they were drunk or otherwise unfit for service. ~~~~
