I can explain the Andorran case. First we thought to expand the list with archaeological sites, but this results problematic as they use to be access protected areas. Another suggestion was to focus thematically on most unknown monuments: granite architecture. But people love to photograph nice landscapes with romanesque churches and any restriction is against WLM principles. Finally we will focus on articles. We expect that creating and expanding articles about monuments will result in more interest in some aspects not covered with photos.
But what surprised me most is that the sponsor had no doubt and he wanted to participate.
