What I really would like to know however, is whether the pictures that someone adds to an English list (so not Dutch, French or German) will make it into the monuments database on Commons? I assume there is some checks done on the leading language lists in order to update the database.
The answer is yes and no ;-) The monument database has different tables for each language, so there can be multiple tables for a single country, each containing the monuments listed in the specific Wikipedia (e.g. ch-de, ch-fr, ch-it each contain all Swiss monuments but in different languages).
I'm not sure if all of those are included in the monuments_all-table, though.
There's only one ch table, monuments_ch_(en) and it is included in monuments_all.
There are for instance monuments_fr_(fr) and monuments_fr_(ca) (monuments in France in French and Catalonian), and both are included into monuments_all. I think the monuments_all entries from ca will get overwritten by the fr ones, though.
