Hi Romaine,
I feel somewhat guilty because I stopped creating the lists on the English
Wikipedia. I just sort of forgot about them. As I recall, there was a
problem with naming the actual monuments. I guess it's all "Belgium
National Heritage Site" or something like that.

What I really would like to know however, is whether the pictures that
someone adds to an English list (so not Dutch, French or German) will make
it into the monuments database on Commons? I assume there is some checks
done on the leading language lists in order to update the database. My
question is, can there be more than one list? And what if a user adds a
photo to Wikipedia, rather than Wikimedia Commons? I think these need to be
caught and transferred by hand, but is that right?

Jane
