Russia has 30 WH Sites, so this is the longest list so far (I may nominate Italy next, which is the longest ;) ). Style is standard. Portugal's list has already seen some support so I am adding a new nomination. There are probably some simple typos throughout the list that I didn't spot, feel free to fix them on the checking.

Comments by RunningTiger123 edit

  • "First five sites" → "The first five sites"
  • Expand link for Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments from "Saint Petersburg" to "monuments of Saint Petersburg"
  • "inscribed to the list"/"most recent inscription" – the word "inscribe" feels weird in this context; is there a better word that could be used?
  • "during the World War II" → "during World War II"
  • "seabirds, snow geese, a large walrus colony" → "seabirds, snow geese, and a large walrus colony"
  • "Karst" should not be capitalized (two occurrences)
  • "National park covers parts of the Kolyma Lowland and Yana-Indigirka Lowland." – sentence fragment, should be fixed
  • Site names starting with "The" should sort by the first word after that, not by "The"

  • @RunningTiger123: Fixed, thanks! As for the "The" sorting, UNESCO sorts them like that, see Italy for example. So, unless there is a strong policy in favor of this approach, I would leave it as it is. Let me know. --Tone 08:26, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Since the same sorting applies for Russia here, I'll let it stand. On a different note, that page seems to list a new site that was just added – Valley of the Kings of Tuva – so we should probably add that. But I'm fairly confident you can add that with no issues, so I'll go ahead and support. RunningTiger123 (talk) 16:33, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Wow, look at it, they added it when I was just about through the list, haha. I'll add it. Thanks for the support! --Tone 18:41, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by MWright96 edit

  • "in 1990." - perhaps add the month to the year the conference was held?
  • " Three of these sites are located in the present-day Russian Federation (or Russia):" - Try not to start the sentences with a written number
  • "Nineteen sites are cultural and eleven are natural. Four sites are transnational." - same query as above

That's all I have MWright96 (talk) 14:52, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    • @MWright96: Fixed, thank you! I left the one starting with four because saying "There are four..." would read forced. --Tone 14:59, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
