One more American quirk - "Monuments" here means lots of things here - but is probably most associated with what we've been calling "public art" - sculptures to famous people. Another use is for "gravestone". So while most of us probably understand how "registered historic places" fits in with "Wiki Loves Monuments" it seems just a bit off. Any chance of getting a new title next July??!
This applies in the UK too, where I suspect it was a significant factor in the initiative not taking off, this year.
"Wiki loves buildings", "...architecture" or even "...listed buildings" (the latter very UK specific) would be more descriptive.
