Created by Gerda Arendt (talk). Self-nominated at 09:30, 22 November 2017 (UTC).
Article was created and nominated within the required timeframe, is of sufficient length. AGF on German sources. QPQ is present. Two minor issues: the last paragraph (about becoming a WHS property) is uncited, and I'd suggest "still exists" instead of "is extant" in the hook. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:26, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you for looking! It may be my English but I connect "exist" with living creatures, - wrong? - UNESCO site: this would reference the year of the whole thing, this is a list of the monuments, + ext link (which could be made ref. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:20, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: I think the reference with the year would be the better bet. I'd generally consider "extant" to be just a little jargon-like; it's not wrong, but in general "exists" would be the word used. I won't object if you think it works better this way, though. - The Bushranger One ping only 09:03, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
- Learning, promoter can change to "exist" or whatever, "only thing left" (not much). I use "extant" all the time for manuscripts which nobody said "exist", rather the opposite (I used "exist" and was corrected". Never so sure about details of English ;) - Adding that ref, but isn't it like sourcing that the sky is blue, just a little bit? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:08, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
- IIRC sometimes 'every paragraph must have at least one' has been suggested, although looking now I don't actually see it in the rules? But overall I've found it better to err on the side of too many citations, and it means you don't have to go adding it later. ;) - The Bushranger One ping only 09:10, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
- Did you see that I added it? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:31, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
Indeed, I belive this is now good to go. Good work on a beautiful place! - The Bushranger One ping only 10:38, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
