List of World Heritage Sites in Germany

• Featured list candidates/List of World Heritage Sites in Germany/archive1

Nominator(s): Tone 12:35, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

I got a suggestion to nominate Germany for a FLC in one of the previous nominations. I got it in shape faster than I thought, luckily the article was already quite extensive so I just had to fix the map and rewrite some descriptions which were copy-paste from the source earlier. Standard style. A long one this time, but luckily the tentative list is short. I suppose India is coming next, which is even longer, overall. The nomination for Latvia is seeing support so I am adding a new nomination. Tone 12:35, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Oh damn, this is a big one. I'll look into the main list later. I've put invisible comments to divide my comments based on sections. GeraldWL 05:44, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Long one indeed. I think I will wait until you are through the list and fix the issues in one sitting :) Tone 15:42, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Done! Feel free to look at 'em now :) GeraldWL 03:59, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

I am through. I think I solved all. Thank you, very good comments. Tone 10:19, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Re-checked the list and it looks all resolved now! Happy to support another part of this fascinating series. GeraldWL 10:28, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Resolved comments from GeraldWL 10:28, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

* "which have been" can be removed and it still retains the same message; the ick here is with the repetition of which "which have been nominated by countries which are signatories..." Removed the second which, I tried removing the first but does not sound right somehow. "World War II" not "the World War II" "West and East Germany" to be simpler and less repetitive "the German reunification took place on 3 October 1990"-- per its article, the reunification actually spanned two years. If this is talking about German's UNESCO ratification as a single country, it must be specified thus. decapitalize "World" "finally delisted"-- I think "finally" is unecessary, plus it leans on the border of neutrality I put eventually. Ultimately would work as well, I suppose. Why not include the reference numbers? That's the style I have been using for these lists. Sometimes the nominations are updates and so do the numbers, so they are kind of less fixed than the listed sites. I think the sentence can be rewritten to "This site comprises the buildings of a multidisciplinary foundation established in 1698 in Halle by theologian and educator August Hermann Francke, inspired by the Pietism movement." "southern Italy and North America"-- add a comma since you also apply Oxford comma in the previous sentences "the Ashkenazi community of Hamburg" --> "the local Ashkenazi community" Shouldn't 1 and 600 be separated by a comma, since it isnt a year? I think some of the regions in the site column can be linked to their articles, i.e. Werdenfelser Land I think Alpine should be linked, but meadows is overlinking For the small villa link: I think the preceding "a" should also be part of the pipe "second half" per WP:SPELL09 Should give a brief description of what Kulturdenkmal and Deutsche Stiftung Denkmalschutz are "Constructed under Charlemagne" --> "Constructed under the rule of Charlemagne" "the Palatine Chapel" --> "the cathedral's Palatine Chapel" "The Roman colony at Trier was founded in the 1st century AD." Why is the AD needed, since in previous mentions of centuries you don't put them? "profited from the mining" --> "profited from it" "the Enlightenment" --> add "Age of" to be more specific "when philosophers Hegel and Hoffmann"-- would prefer using the more complete name (following the Wikipedia article title) since just using surnames can be ambiguous "completet in 1129"-- typo "as well as numerous technological innovations developed here"-- probably a better idea to use "there" than "here" "Tree buildings"-- typo "the ideas of the Enlightenment"-- add "Age of" Decapitalize the M in all "Modern" or "Modernist" or "Modernism" "between Bingen and Koblenz"-- add comma after "with Lorelei rock"-- with the "in the 2nd century CE"-- similar to the AD comment "with Silk Road places"-- with the "especiall during"-- typo Add the before Großsiedlung Siemensstadt "In Germany, five forests were added in 2011, Kellerwald is pictured." Comma after 2011 should be full stop; "the Kellerwald mountain range" "Eighteen sites are located in Germany, the"-- comma after Germany. "an outstanding example of a Baroque court theatre"-- what makes it outstanding? "of the Viking Age Europe" --> "of Europe during the Viking Age" Link danube, North Sea Jewish-Medieval Heritage should probably be put next to Speicherstadt since the list order is by year of inscription.

• The most recent addition were four sites in 2021 - was four sites? Or should addition be plural?
  • Ha, this was outdated, fixed.
• The use of "pictured" is inconsistent; IMO, it should be in every box to clarify what's being shown. If not that, then it must be added to places like Pilgrimage Church of Wies, which has no "pictured" in the desc despite being a photo of the structure itself
  • Well, I am using this wording if it is not obvious what is on the photo, like, if there are five buildings listed and I show one. If it is just one church, it is kind of redundant.
• The ironworks that operated until 1986 to produce pig iron. - this is an incomplete sentence; it's fine in a caption, but as far as I can tell all the other descs use full sentences
• the buildings of Shaft 12 are distinguished from architectural point of view. - from an architectural POV?
• some of which have been renovated in the 19th century - some of which were renovated?
• The Roland, dating to 1404, is a statue of a knight, representing Roland, knight of Charlemagne, that symbolizes freedom. - this sentence contains way too many commas; I'd be much easier to read if you put it all together "The 1404 statue Roland is a statue of a knight representing knight of Charlemagne Roland, who symbolizes freedom."
• The sites in Germany and the Netherlands were inscribed to the World Heritage List in 2009, the property in Denmark was added in 2014 - missing a conjunction after the comma
• They consititute one of the largest historical ensembles of warehouses in the world, together with related port infrastructure. - typo in "consititute"; also, "together with related port infrastructure" is an odd addendum to the sentence since the first bit is about large warehouses- if you feel it's necessary to include, move it to the start of the sentence: Along with related port infrastructure, they constitute..."
• The buildings of the colony (the Wedding Tower from 1908 and one of the exhibition halls pictured) - which hall? From what I see in the photo, only one hall is pictured
  • There are several halls, one of them is pictured. I think this is clear enough.

Tone, all done- very nice work as usual! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 23:37, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
