I still wish we had better processes for matching photo requests with potential contributors. These situations are relatively common: a photographer, at fairly short notice, has a short period of time to take lots of photos in one area. There's no effective way to communicate with a large group of people to find individual items that need photographing - it's much better if the requests exist beforehand and can be gathered in some effective fashion. Theoretically, if there are pages with geo coords on the main page, and photo requests on the talk page, it would be possible to produce a map (google maps or open street map) plotting all these requests within some area, along with a list of what they are. I don't know how easy this sort of mashup is to make, yet. It also would fall down where there are multiple photos required for one article, as in this case.
