This list follows the style of several successful FL nominations for European countries. The latest two promoted were List of World Heritage Sites in Albania and List of World Heritage Sites in Malta. Austria has even more sites listed. As usual, some copyediting is expected to take place during this nomination. Tone 08:39, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Using "In the following table" is outdated phrasing that is no longer used in featured lists. Mattximus (talk) 17:49, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Good point, fixed. --Tone 18:38, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comments by Dudley
edit- The notes section normally goes before references.
- As there are only two notes, they look odd in four columns.
- You are inconsistent whether locations are linked. It would be helpful to link them all.
- "Salzburg was the meeting point between German and Italian cultures". Between when and when?
- "The region built itself around salt mining". A region building itself sounds wrong to me.
- "While only some of the sites have been excavated". This comment is superfluous as it would apply to any such set of sites.
- Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests. The citation for this site links to a Chinese site.
- Late Middle Ages could be linked.
- "called Thalers". I do not think thaler should be capitalised.
- You are inconsistent whether to capitalise Gothic.
- "The Danubian Limes, a network of fortifications along the Danube river, was protecting the borders of the Roman Empire." "protected" would be better than "was protecting".
- A first rate list. Dudley Miles (talk) 19:00, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. Dudley Miles (talk) 21:02, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from ChrisTheDude
edit- "As of 2019, Austria has 10 total sites inscribed on the list and further 12 on the tentative list" - I think the word "total" is redundant here, and also "further 12" should be "a further 12"
- "which began as early as 2,000 BCE" - dates don't usually have a "thousand separator". Nobody would write "we are currently living in the year 2,019".
- "The Semmering Railway was built" - the title of our article doesn't have a capital R - which is correct?
- "This project was undertaken in the early days of railroad construction" - article doesn't seem to be written in US English, so "railroad" should be "railway"
- "around 5000 to 500 B.C." - earlier you used "BCE" - be consistent
- "The site is a part of transnational site" => "The site is a part of a transnational site"
- "functioned both as a spiritual center"......"The historic centre" - article is inconsistent as to whether it uses US spellings or not
- "was protecting the borders of the Roman Empire" => "protected the borders of the Roman Empire"
- "a visual school of nature" - literally no idea what that means

- @Tone: are you still active? You haven't edited in nearly two weeks......... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:25, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, yes, I haven't noticed the comments, I'll take care of them soon. Thanks :) --Tone 13:54, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Dudley Miles:, @ChrisTheDude:, thank you for your detailed comments. I think I addressed all. I rewrote some sections, locations are now linked in a way that they are linked the first time in the section only (Vienna shows often, for example), the part about the meeting point of cultures does not give precise times in the source but it indicates that the main product was seen in the Baroque style. Ready for next round of checks. --Tone 13:07, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Support all looks good now -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:27, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- You could say "Schönbrunn was the residence..." for a complete sentence.
- Hallstatt: "The mining of salt deposits,
beingexploited...". "The name ofthe town gave name..." No comma after society; this is a restrictive appositive - Beech forests: doesn't need "a part of a transnational site"
