We gave a prize to Geograph as Wiki of the year - they should respond to us
if we use the right address

Where the Geograph outscores WLM is that they
aren't time limited, some
of
their photographers have uploaded images from
decades ago, and they cover
the same object in different seasons. I think that makes them more
compatible with Wikipedia, September foliage can hide some of the
features
we want to photograph, winter snow can highlight
earthworks and other
archaeology, past events are best illustrated with old photos, and
waterfalls in particular are much better illustrated with minigalleries
showing winter spate next to summer trickles.
Isn't WLM also non-time-limited? They have to be *submitted* to the
contest (and Commons) in a specific month, but older images are still
acceptable - see for example the Israeli winner, which was taken in
the winter of 1992.
