has sometimes nice images.

I was not looking far but I found some fitting for OSM documentation.
And I replaced some really low quality ones with ones that I found.

And on topic of "all images are of Europe" I upgraded image on 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:lit with one from Paraguay.
Of still low quality but significantly better and more fitting the page.
After more that 15 minutes still noone reverted it :)

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface%3Dpaving_stones is my other
edit where I added additional images as just one from infobox was not enough to
cover the topic.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Category:Feature_pages_with_missing_images
has some false positive but is likely to be a good start

After going through this - making a script that finds all images with extremely 
small
resolution for replacement would be likely a good next step (ask here or on dev 
mailing
list for help if that would be necessary)

I think it would be fine to start Highway_Tag_South_America and note that it is 
a start/proposal,
based on experience in Panama, ABC and XYZ and welcome others to expand and 
verify it.
