Re: Geotagging of images?


I like this idea. Not only does it add more encyclopaedic value to the
images we have on Commons - thus boosting all of Wikipedia's primary
functions - it could also be useful to other projects. One thing I have
in mind is Wikinews, the project I am most involved in, can instead find
images of mountains or towns in the vicinity of the news event, rather
than just a plain map each time. Longitude and Latitude will make this
100x easier if the files aren't named properly or we don't know the name
of a town or whatnot.
