Talk:List of World Heritage in Danger

message: The World Heritage Committee removed the Walled City of Baku from its endangered list and in fact praised Azerbaijan for its efforts to preserve it, see here. By this I removed Azerbaijan from the list. Baku87 (talk) 15:53, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Planned improvements 

message: The lead feels a little bit thin, I think it would be useful to talk about how a sites ends up on the danger list, for example do states suggest it to UNESCO or is it done on UNESCO's initiative? Do sites on the danger list get any extra protection or funding, or is it simply to raise awareness? Is there some background to why the danger list was introduced, a particular site or issue that triggered it? Maybe have a little about the criteria as they're included in the table? It might not be practical to have a map given how spread out the sites are, but List of World Heritage Sites of the United Kingdom uses  in conjunction with coordinate templates with names, ie: , so that a link is produced to Bing and Google maps showing the location of the sites. Caveat: if you read the FLC for where the map is mentioned you'll see that's it's not uncontroversial and it is preferred to use an on-wiki alternative if possible, although I think using Google and Bing in this way works very well. The table makes sense to me; I thought maybe there'd be a description of each site, but given the important thing is why they're listed I suppose that's not necessary and why it's been included. Is the key correct? It says: "Year" is the year of listing as site in danger, but the ear column looks more like when the site was first inscribed on the WHS list and the endangered column is when it was listed as endangered. Overall, a very good list. Nev1 (talk) 14:42, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. The list was very recently expanded so it is  still a bit rough around the edges. In fact there used to be a description column in one of the older revisions (see article history), but I (and Ericleb01) decided not to repeat the description which is/(should be) present in the respective continent lists of WH sites. This is a list about sites in danger and we should therefore focus on the reasons/threats. Do you think that the list of former WH sites in danger (at the bottom of the article) should be transformed into a table format like the present sites in danger? Naturally the references are all UNESCO pages. Is this a problem for WP:FL? Lastly, are you interested/willing to help with the intro? bamse (talk) 18:51, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

message: The entry for the Salonga National Park indicates that the site was endangered from 1984 to 1992. However, the source does not reflect this, and UNESCO is saying that it was only inscribed from 1999 onwards. Is the information missing a source or was it never endangered prior to 1999? This would help for the lead over at the African list. Thanks. EricLeb01 (Page | Talk) 19:38, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Sites should not be removed from the article if they cease to be on the danger list! Move them from the first ("Currently listed sites") to the second ("Previously listed sites") table instead. I put back the Lahore site. And started with the 2012 additions. Should be finished today. bamse (talk) 13:28, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  2012 update 

message: In its current form the introduction to this article leaves much to be desired.
What would help tremendously would be subdividing it into, for example:
      Introduction: The Organisation
      Intro: Natural Sites
      Intro: Historic Sites
      Intro: Future Outlook
These headings were derived from a cursory reading, and should be considered a suggestion only.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.15.144.54 (talk) 05:02, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to clarify, is all you recommend to introduce section headings or something else? Please note that part of the introduction applies to both natural and historic sites (e.g. "potential dangers"), so a division in natural and historic sites makes not much sense IMO. bamse (talk) 08:05, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Well the entire lead right now is one massive section. And per FA requirements (dont know how it was FL'd) leads needs to be shortened to refelct article content not to inclue all condent not on the list.Lihaas (talk) 04:12, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: No idea about FA requirements, but writing a summary style lead for lists seems a bit strange to me. If you have a look at other featured lists, they typically write about the non-list subject (here "World Heritage in Danger") and perhaps refer to some examples in the list or give some statistics based on the list, just like this lead section does. Featured list criteria say that the lead should be engaging, introduce the subject, and define the scope and inclusion criteria. I believe the present lead satisfies these criteria. The first paragraph defines scope and inclusion criteria in general terms. The second paragraph illustrates this with examples. The third paragraph tells about how sites end up on this list or how they get removed. The fourth paragraph deals with external (non-UNESCO) opinion on the list. Personally I think that all of this is relevant for this article/list and I would not want to cut. If you think the lead is too long, feel free to split off part of it in sections (as in 1st Academy Awards for instance) or list it at WP:FLRC. bamse (talk) 19:33, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see any real issues with the lead. The leads in FLs are significantly different to those in FAs, as lists need more comprehensive and often longer leads as they typically do not have any other sections. The lead was approved just a year ago at FLC—a strong indication it is well-written for the purpose. In my opinion the logic of the lead as it is, is better than the proposal by 196.15.144.54, as that overlooks many important aspects. I will remove  as it definitively does not need to be re-written.

message: The World Heritage in Danger category is being discussed at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2013_March_10#Category:World_Heritage_in_Danger. One reason for proposing the deletion of the category is that updates to the status of sites should be made on this article rather than in category space. DexDor (talk) 05:58, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

message: It's possible that sea level rise should be considered for the Everglades/Everglades National Park, since the southern portion is about a single meter elevation against a likely rise of that much this century, either killing it directly, or facilitating more damaging tides and storm surges.
