We've got a plan for this... Stevie will no doubt elaborate if asked :-)

Also in the jury report we tried to bring it as neutral as possible. Please note that this picture also scored very high in the Argentine competition. 

The criterium is by the way not on which country's territory the monument is located, but strictly speaking the criterium is which country recognized it as a monument. Most of the time there's a 100% overlap in that, but not always. 

Anyway, fully agree with David that it *shouldn't* be a problem, but I'm not quite familiar with UK media.

I'll worry about it as and when they call.

I've just added an English description (that says Falkland Islands) as
well as the Spanish one (that says Islas Malvinas).

It's a stunning photo of a military cemetery, and no newspaper would
run a story without the picture - which will make it obvious that the
picture got a placing because it's a great picture.

If we can't position this one as an example of Wikipedia's neutrality,
we're just not trying.
