There was a question of permanently removing the upload buttons on English Wikipedia. Actually I think it is just a matter for the US WP:NRHP, and may not go beyond that.
I don't think it is impossible to keep the buttons, and I think the "placeholder RfC" was quite badly started and really doesn't apply well to this question. More somebody blowing off steam than anything else. Good editors do that sometime and there may be an underlying issue that we didn't have time to deal with properly a week before the contest started.
On the other hand, as a permanent fixture, I don't like the buttons where they currently are. For the contest they were fine, but they attract too much attention away from the list's actual content. Perhaps they might be moved to the description column and made smaller.
In any case, a fairly long discussion will likely be needed at WT:NRHP, and removing the buttons, at least temporarily, will be a show of good faith. None of this necessarily applies to non-NRHP lists on English Wikipedia.

Sounds fair enough. Definitely this is a question for each project to resolve for themselves. Different sensitivities in different communities...

Also a button only for monuments without a picture is an option.
