Just read this BBC article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-15216513 where the correspondent wanders around a Paris cemetery, smartphone in hand, searching the internet for information about the people buried there. How much more convenient if the graves of notable people were tastefully and discretely marked with QRpedia codes. A Wikimedia UK collaboration with Highgate Cemetery maybe?
