Hi Romaine,
I feel somewhat guilty because I stopped creating the lists on the
English
Wikipedia. I just sort of forgot about them. As I
recall, there was a
problem with naming the actual monuments. I guess it's all "Belgium
National Heritage Site" or something like that.
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. My
question is, can there be more than one list? And what if a user adds a
photo to Wikipedia, rather than Wikimedia Commons? I think these need to
be
caught and transferred by hand, but is that right?

Hi Jane
I can definitely help with the lists on en.wp, I actually planned to start
translating them.
Pictures which were not on Commons were not part of the WLM. If there are
any pictures around which are eligible for Commons I think they should be
transferred manually. If they can not be there (for instance, because of
the Freedom of Panorama issues), they are also no eligible for the lists.
In practice, I think, only users who are aware of WLM, Commons, and
databases, like you and me, will add pictures.
Cheers
