I'm not sure if I'm totally at ease with automatically adding datasets to Wikipedia.
Well ... we talk about 1.5 million datasets in Europe alone, maybe more.
I would say one or maybe a couple of datasets per country.
I'm not totally convinced that these information can be maintained on a more or less current level without automatical support.
Could you please send a concept, how your ideas of generating and maintaining the lists in all Wikiepdia are.
The lists of monuments tend to be quite static. So you have the initial import, every once in a while a couple of monuments are added and maybe sometimes a monument is removed. The Wikipedia communities are probably quite capable of maintaining these lists. For the initial import of the rijksmonumenten we converted the dataset we got into a long wikitext formatted list. The items in this list we're added to Wikipedia. That approach worked.
