Hello, In the Netherlands there luckily are no destructions/disasters which destroyed more then one (or a few) monuments. But also without these many monuments get destroyed. Those are maybe not the most special ones. But fires, owners who do not care. I think althought each of these cases are small. Together they make up a lot of the buildings destroyed. The best example for that is probably one of the winning pictures in Russia last year. The burning church. That was a monument which was captured in its final moments. [1] In a dutch monuments magazine there was an article on fire in monuments. Last year I happened to have pictured almost all buildings in a dutch city called Kampen. In January this year one of those burned down. [2] Besides that there are the buildings which get destroyed by the time (no maintenance) Those are maybe not almost the most special cases. But I expect these make up a lot of the damage. This 2 categories also are around everywhere, in each country there are fires. I think making lists of all buildings which get destroyed this way is a little bit to big for a side project. Maybe some heritage organisations allready made these lists. But making a list of special cases (very special to the earth/special because we have a great capture of these) is a good idea. Another thing is that for WLM people can also upload pictures. So it might not yet be to late. Maybe a top 10 or 100 (aim high?) of buildings which sadly got destroyed but do not yet have a picture. A sort of "most wanted pictures (from lost buildings)" would be cool. Mvg, Bas

But there are also lots of these cases[3] http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Grebbedijk_6a,_Wageningen.jpg No maintenance, also lots of cases. Not the most special building but today the hole in the roof is even bigger.

Examples: shelled mosquees minarets in Syrian civil war, buildings and documents burned in Egypt revolution, some damages in buildings and churches in the Italian earthquake, attacks in Timbuktu WHS, some damages and looting in Lybia uprising and war, and more. If Israel attacks Iran and war breaks out, probably there will be damages, as were in Iraq, Lybia, Egypt and Syria. I started this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_heritage_damaged_during_Syrian_civil_war And Oscar Valdebenito references are nice for another list focused in Chilean earthquake. 2012/8/26 Platonides <platoni...@gmail.com> I was wondering if somebody had (or was willing to prepare) a list of monuments around the world that could have been photographed during WLM 2011 timeline but no longer exist. I think it would make for a great piece of news for release during the contest, in the lines of [[en:Wikipedia:There is a deadline]] essay, to motivate participation. -- Emilio J. Rodríguez-Posada.
