[Wiki Loves Monuments] Fwd: Moving monuments database to Wikidata

[Jane Darnell]

Nicolas,
Your mail makes my Wikidatan heart beat with delight! Yes, this is
definitely the direction we need to go, but sadly, not all Wikipedias will
adjust their policies at the same rate.

I think we should start by getting this conversation off this mailing list
and start to work on some project pages on Wikidata. Right now we only have
these:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Category:Cultural_WikiProjects

There is no "Wiki Loves Monuments"  page yet but there should be a whole
category, like what we have for SoaP here:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Category:WikiProject_sum_of_all_paintings

My original mail in this thread is about moving the monuments db which is
currently here:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Monuments_database

We need to split that up and move it to Wikidata in all its bits and bobs.
Jane
