Andy Mabbett has an interesting post (from 2026-11-08) about how to add war memorials to Wikimedia Commons, OpenStreetMap, Wikidata, and WikiTree. I think these four sites are really useful for family and local historians to use. There's so much incidental research that happens while you're digging into your main topic, and it's good to put it somewhere so it can help other people.
For example, this morning I uploaded a photo printed by Charles Samuel Bardwell-Clarke, who was a Perth photographer originally from India and London (who photographed the king at one time, no less), and there's now a growing category on Commons of his work: Photos by Charles Samuel Bardwell-Clarke. He doesn't yet have a Wikidata item, nor a profile on WikiTree, but I will rectify that soon!
