Thanks for the clarification Lodewijk! We'll see what we can do at this end
to smooth over any problems, if they occur.
FWIW, the UK listed buildings on the Falkland islands are here:
http://www.falklands.info/background/listedb.html - I'm sure we've got some
falkland islanders around somewhere..
Hi,
We have discussed this issue quite up front actually - and decided to
follow our usual path. Wiki Loves Monuments is based on what countries
recognize as monuments - in this case the national heritage board of
Argentina. We don't want to selectively shop in such a list, as that would
be origin
Not yet. Needs sensitive handling, I think - and mailing list discussions
aren't very sensitive!

I think one possible course of action from here is to pre-emptively notify
Wikimedia Argentina of the issue of Falklands being on the list. WP:BEANS
may be a concern but I hope they'll be reasonable.

Not that I want to politicise the issue, that is - I am sure everyone has
good intentions - but WLM will not be very successful there if it's seen by
the locals as an Argentine project. It needs UK support, if it's to happen
successfully, I feel.
