On a constructive tone, I think this is easily solved at the jury level, just make the Wikipedia usefulness one of the noting criteria, even if the picture is wonderful done technically and artistically, if there are other reasonable pics of that monument on Commons, just don't give it the maximum score - in Romania the jury gave 3 notes: artistic, technical and usefulness, each pondered: 50%, 30%, 20%.
I second something like this. At the end of the day, Commons doesn't need yet another bad picture of the Eiffel Tower, but it still needs more than one picture of that little beautiful church in Southern Hungary, which only has one picture of the front door. Maybe in the description of the contest we should emphasize the importance of all monuments, not just the major ones which are already well described by the pics that are already on Commons. Cruccone
