The list of monuments at
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anexo:Monumentos_de_la_Provincia_de_Tierra_del_Fuego,_Ant%C3%A1rtida_e_Islas_del_Atl%C3%A1ntico_Sur - includes Port Darwin, Fox Bay, Goose Green, Stanley, Pebble Island, and a few more. I think it's been imported straight from the Argentine
national registry, which of course assumes that the Falklands are Argentine.
I don't think it's intentional, and I don't have an issue with Argentinian Wikipedians taking pictures, obviously - we're all friends - but it'd be quite easy for an unscrupulous individual to turn WLM into a political issue. Just something to be aware of, I think.

Has anyone else noticed that the Falkland Islands are participating in Wiki Loves Monuments this year, but as part of Wikimedia Argentina?
I hadn't - what makes you think they are?
