Thanks for the clarification - I understand better what you mean now. We indeed chose explicitely only to organize WLM in countries where there could be an effort to make the necessary preperations (preparing monument
lists
that are useful for non-Wikipedians, having a national jury and awards
to
attract attention of newbees etc). So it was indeed necessary to have an organizing team locally to organize Wiki Loves Monuments. This because otherwise the images would indeed end up on Commons, but most likely unused, because the monument is not clearly identified etc.
Anyway, lets have this discussion more in depth later on, after we can
see
some more clearly the final results of the 2011 edition in all
countries.
Best regards,
Lodewijk
Yes, I see the motivation, and I also agree that it would be better to discuss it in October in an appropriate place.
Just may be to note that every single picture I uploaded for Russia has a monument ID and will be used in at least one article in English Wikipedia (though in some case I would need to create these articles myself). It is of course easy to do when there are only 30 images, and I see how much effort is now to take care of all pictures of RM in the Netherlands.
