Update from Sweden

As Lars Aronsson has told 5137 monuments in Sweden now listed in the Swedish 
language Wikipedia with unique IDs, names, and municipality, most of
them also with coordinates (97 %) and other details. We will launch our website 
in the coming days and send out a joint press release with our partners.

We will have our awards ceremony at the Nordiska museet, which is very good 
news. It is not only a great museum, but also a fantastic building.

I have a question:


Can we accept images in the contest on items that do not have a unique ID?


In Sweden we have many buildings that are protected at the local level, because 
of its historical value, but are not necessary included in the National 
Heritage Board's records. We also have protected ships, and other types of 
monuments (such as statues, and ancient monuments). We also have 
Fornminnesregistret (National Ancient Remains register) containing more than 
1.7 million entries.
