Ok, maybe I phrased it wrong. Yes, they of course can be usefull, but with
the lack of an id and a proper database behind it, all the categorisation
will need to be done by hand. If you 10.000 of pictures, that will be one
hell of a job, and you can't expect the uploaders to do that either as they
might not know/understand the categorisation system.

And to be clear, I am not telling what or what not to do, I only explained
the reasoning why we made the decision in nl, so you can weight that in
your local discussion.

Andre

We also have protected ships, and other types of monuments (such as statues, and ancient monuments).
