Where the Geograph outscores WLM is that they aren't time limited, some of their photographers have uploaded images from decades ago, and they cover the same object in different seasons. I think that makes them more compatible with Wikipedia, September foliage can hide some of the features we want to photograph, winter snow can highlight earthworks and other archaeology, past events are best illustrated with old photos, and waterfalls in particular are much better illustrated with minigalleries showing winter spate next to summer trickles.
Isn't WLM also non-time-limited? They have to be *submitted* to the contest (and Commons) in a specific month, but older images are still acceptable - see for example the Israeli winner, which was taken in the winter of 1992.
