Hi everyone,
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...
I still need a way to figure out for what countries it works and for what countries it will make a mess ;-)

Austrian lists have unique identifieres and geoinformations, so it should work for our images.
Best regards, Michael

After some nasty encoding issues (Wikimedia databases think they are latin1, but the contents is utf-8) I got this working for Austria too. I'll probably just add a check in the config to mark countries that work so we can run this unattended on a regular basis.

That's great news!

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.

The Swedish ones would need to have an additional test to make sure they contain the {{BBR}} template. This because we also have unique identifiers referring to another database which isn't included in the Commons monuments database.
