Yes! Its true there can be many monuments.
I don't believe in Ghana a single region will have over 500 monuments currently. Maybe we're yet to create more. But as at our current state, no region has over 500.
Thus, 999 is a bit okay. Adding more zeros means some zeros will not be useful but will rather make the ID longer.
For me, the 999 maximum value is cool.
Or?

1. For the coordinates, i think i've searched enough. I don't know of areas left though. But I think i've done all. The empty ones aren't available. That's all I know for now. (I stand to be corrected) 2. Landing page? Ghana hasn't got a ...monuments.gh/... to have a landing page. Or you're talking of the one we have on Commons? You referring to commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012_in_Ghana page as our landing page?

western region is complete.
lets tackle the next region, central. there is a wiki page with coords: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Vredeburg, one could enter it?
in the meantime i added coords of the castles in elmine, by just taking the coordinates of the elmina wikipedia page. having the city is better than nothing, i suppose.
but - what i am not sure - elmina castle museum is listed in "greater accra region", and elmina castle is listed in central region, in elmina. is this true, or we have some errors left in the list?

yes, the commons page is probably easiest. if we can paste over from the belgians, and also have a paragraph how to subscribe to this list it would be excellent, what you think?
