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

+1

to work on the categorisation backlog themselves directly?
