Jane As there are good Wikidata entries for the UK, but for no other countries so far as I know, it would be sensible to use those as the basis for building some general, international, tools. Magnus has kindly offered to work on that, on the basis that the community can agree on something of wide applicability and not just country by country.
As of now, there is a tool to find monuments nearby and to upload images to Commons, but it only works in English and for countries that have data items in Wikidata. I fully agree with you that we now need to start using the Wikidata items and to extend what we have to other countries and languages. Where would the best place be to work on collaboratively defining the functionality of the tools we want? A page on Wikidata or on Commons?
