Oh I so agree, this would make "Wiki Loves Monuments" really work for us. Geograph is a brilliant project and WMUK should support them as easily as we would wikimedia commons.
(I have a suspicion that photos from Geograph will be less tricky to categorise if they arrive with geotagging built into the picture.)
so yes +1

So Geograph users have the option of posting their images directly on
Commons
provided they add categories. I suspect there would be some software implications, but if so it might
be a
useful use of a UK grant.

Would it be worth approaching the Geograph community and asking them to work on the categorisation backlog themselves directly?
