Provenance
Selection is deterministic, not editorial: places come from ~50 Wikidata classes (castles, waterfalls, show caves, archaeological sites, museums…), and a record only qualifies with coordinates on Earth, a Commons photo (P18), an English label and an English Wikipedia article. Fame is measured, not judged. No AI-generated content: names and descriptions are Wikidata's own (CC0). Photos are not included — the image column links to Commons files carrying their own licenses.
