No, I'm just suggesting looking up the specific name.
apparently doesn't work, and exact matching strikes me as too slim a
chance. For example, that would not have worked for
your example,
[[Tatranska Lomnica]].
Actually, it would, I didn't spell it precisely. There's an accent on the
third a - see where [[en:...]] redirects to.

Apparently, you haven't seen my "Missing images" tool:
http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/missing_images.php
(still working on the CSV mode :-)
Oh, I don't doubt it. I'm suggesting integrating these "tools" to
create "software" :) 5 different tools is good. One piece of great
software that does all that is even better.
So, basically, I'm thinking of software that attempts to solve the general
problem of "this article has no images. Whence can we procure some?"
Possible sources include commons, interwikis, flickr, and potentially dozens
of other sources.
