This misses the point. In Wikipedia there's also no "definition which of 
the several images that likely exist for most objects should be 
referenced", but Wikipedia has a lot of geo related articles with an image.

There's a big difference between the subjective "my favourite walk" and 
the objective "this is a picture of the object".
