message: Hi everyone, I've added pictures of three World Heritage Sites in Mexico, I think we all should add more pictures of some of the other World Heritage Sites belonging to each country. Peace :D Dragon Lost In Mexico 02:45, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm thinking this would be better in a table format. Therefore the person can choose to reorganize by name, location, etc. User:Leppi 07:26, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Mexico the third in the world? That's not true. The first one is Italy; the second, Spain; Then it would follow France or Germany, I'm not sure; after both, it comes China and finally Mexico would be in the sixth place, I beleave. So we could say that Mexico is the second country after China that has more Heritage sites out of Europe.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.179.25.56 (talk) 00:25, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

message: A short few years ago a massive fire in west-central BC, near Hunlen Falls and I'm not sure whether inside or just next to Tweedsmuir South Provincial Park, burned out the cabin and possessions which had been the location of the fieldwork of Ralph Edwards in his efforts to protect the survival of the trumpeter swan.  I'm not sure whether it was Lonesome Lake that was the heritage site - which I thought was a UNESCO World Heritage Site - or some other landform/location in the immediate vicinity.  Two notable books, one by Leland Stowe - Crusoe of Lonesome Lake - and another by Edwards' wife Frances - Ruffles on my Longjohns, a classic of "bush wife" literature - are connected with the local; documentarist Tony Wade also produced a doc, The Crusoe of Lonesome Lake....I just happened to be doing geographical stubs in the area, which includes Hunlen Falls, one of Canada's highest, and noticed Trumpeter Mountain and Lonesome Lake in a proximity search around Hunlen, and remembered the burned-out-by-fire story.  As far as I know the trumpeters still return every year, though Edwards' cabin was destroyed....I don't have time to do up a detailed history and dont' know the story well, but it's a famous one in BC.  What other classification might it have been if not a UNESCO WHS?  Anyone here recognize this tale?Skookum1 (talk) 03:04, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

message: The current map is missing at least two UNESCO WHS: Jesuit Mission of São Miguel das Missões (Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil) and Brazilian Atlantic Islands (Fernando de Noronha and Atol das Rocas).  User:MarioBrazil 18:42, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I share your concern. I'm beginning a drive to get all of these lists to FL, taking the same layout as the African list (credit goes to User:Arsenikk for that one). People can help out by attempting to replicate the table format in that article to here and other WHS lists; that would be very appreciated. EricLeb01 (Page | Talk) 04:42, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

text: I agree the current layout with maps of different sizes is distracting both visually and geographically (sense of scale and location). I disagree though that geographic location wouldn't be important, however there is no need for the current level of detail in this page, since maps appear in the individual articles. The role of the page is to provide an overview for the continent, hence I could image a map of the Americas (or separately North, Central/Caribbean and South if the list is also restructured) indicating the sites as dots without label. That would at least give an overview of the geographic distribution of WHS on the continent. Different colours could be used for cultural, natural and mixed sites. --Elekhh (talk) 05:55, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Good plan! If the sites/dots get to dense on an America(s) map, one could also think of just color coding the countries, e.g. countries with 1-3 sites in yellow, with 4-8 sites in orange and with nine or more sites in red. (just an example, haven't thought much about good intervals) bamse (talk) 10:34, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

message: If somebody wants to expand this list into table form like it was done with the Africa list, an old revision of the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger (particularly the "Description" column) might be useful. bamse (talk) 11:15, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Request for comments 

message: Requested. This is a reference for what should be included on this list, per pending discussion. I count 164 sites. * = Trans-border site (don't count them twice), !!END!! = endangered site.
:Thanks. Could you add Chile? bamse (talk) 08:38, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks. I'll compare when I am done with Mexico. bamse (talk) 18:24, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Done up to "Description" column. I put Greenland in "Denmark" per UNESCO, otherwise the article's list matches the goal list. The following sites are arguably located in geographical Americas: two sites in Hawaii (Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Papahānaumokuākea), Rapa Nui National Park, Ilulissat Icefjord; and might need to be moved to other list articles (Europe or Oceania). All other sites are either on or near mainland America. bamse (talk) 21:29, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

message: The map is entitled "A map of World Heritage Sites in the Americas by state party". I don't understand what that means; is it an error? And if so what is it meant to say? Bagunceiro (talk) 21:10, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Map Caption 

message: Anyone else think this list should be split into two separate ones for North America (Which would include the Caribbean and Central America) and South America? After all, Europe, Asia and Africa aren't combined into Euroafrasia on the List of World Heritage Sites, so why should North America and South America be any different? Not to mention North America and South America already have separate lists of countries, so it doesn't really make any sense for there to be only one list of World Heritage Sites for both. Would probably make it easier to read through and less cluttered, too. 2600:8802:500:EF00:3891:5B02:3E7A:71D3 (talk) 07:06, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
