Hmm, These are all very interesting answers, so
thanks!
Yaroslav, it would be totally awesome if you would help out with some
lists
(any lists you want to do would be great). The reason
I put both issues
into this original query (about making the lists AND about the way the
monuments database is set up) is because these issues are related.
It helps to use a concrete example, so here is an example with the
Belgian
monuments:
Jane, let us start with smth simple.
My idea was the following. I wanted to take a page, for instance, from the
Dutch Wikipedia, let us take this one
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lijst_van_rijksmonumenten_in_Laren_%28Noord-Ho…
with all pictures it contains, to translate all columns into English (the
first one should be kept also for original Dutch names) and to add it to
the English Wikipedia. Then to ask Maarten to add this page to his bot
algorithm.
Then, if someone adds a picture with a missing monument on Commons, it
will show up on the dedicated service page in English Wikipedia, same way
it shows up now here:
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikiproject/Erfgoed/Nederlandse_Erfg…
We would need to handle it manually.
If someone adds a picture without a Rijksmonument ID on Commons, or a
picture on the English Wikipedia, we would know it from the personal
watchlist. Then we would need to check the picture and add an ID / transfer
it to Commons / remove it from the list if there are Freedom of Panorama
issues. May be this process could be automatized by a bot but I do not know
how to do it.
Is this what you also had in mind?
Cheers
Yaroslav
