Hi everyone,
Hi Maarten,
This weekend I modified the bot I used to automatically geocode Dutch Rijksmonumenten to be able to handle other countries too. If your country has unique identifiers and has geo information in the list my bot can now geocode your images. Some examples: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/w/index.php?title=Special:Con...
That's great news!
I still need a way to figure out for what countries it works and for what countries it will make a mess ;-)
What I would do for Romania is put a minimum check: import the county limits from OSM and whatever and make sure the LMI code is for the correct county. This was on my TODO list for an uber-program that would use the uploaded photos to enhance the monument lists.
I'm not sure such a check exists for all countries, though.
