Problem is that this is in practice a far better fit for wikipedia where such lists are generated in passing than commons. For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_History_of_the_World_in_100_Objects#Objects http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/BM/Photos_requested#A_History_of_the_World_in_100_Objects -- geni _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
