This is an interesting way to encourage people to contribute to Wikipedia. The &quot;get out and explore your city&quot; motivation reminds me of Pokemon Go... but this time you&#x27;re sharing what you find with the world via Wikipedia.<p>In my immediate area (Williamstown - a suburb of Melbourne) the only monuments listed are train stations, but once you get into the city it looks more interesting.<p>One suggestion - add a big tagline at the top of the page. If I scroll down and read the text I understand what is going on, but it would be great to make it obvious right up front. &quot;Explore monuments in your city and share your photos on Wikipedia&quot;.<p>[edit] it&#x27;s not very usable on my phone - I can use a map but when I click an icon it opens a list that is off to the right of the screen, and I can&#x27;t scroll to it. A mobile first interface would be ideal for getting me to go out and participate. A big &quot;monuments near me&quot; button that opens the map to my current location, and then the ability to take a photo from my camera. Should be a pretty easy fix&#x2F;feature that would make this way more spontaneous and fun to use when on a phone.

I applaude you. This is a pretty impressive work. I could not find an &#x27;about&#x27; link to explain to me how you guys put this together.
