With Hungary being promoted, I am adding the Czech Republic, or Czechia. This list is on the longer side, with 14+17 sites. The format is standard. Tone 07:28, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • "..when the country was part of the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic." - is this the same as Czechoslovakia? Later on you use "the dissolution of Czechoslovakia on January 1, 1993". I'm old enough to remember the break-up of the country and I had genuinely never heard the term "Czech and Slovak Federative Republic" before........
    • I second-checked, this was actually the official name of the country for a couple of years, before the dissolution. Of course, it remains in the collective memory as Czechoslovakia, I guess.
  • "The Czech Republic officially succeeded the convention" - the word "succeeded" doesn't make sense here
    • Why not? I used this in cases when a country broke apart, such as in the case of Yugoslavia. Could you suggest something better?
  • "facades with stucco decorations in style" - "facades with stucco decorations in a style" (or potentially the, but you definitely need one or the other)
    • Fixed.
  • "The Holy Trinity Column was erected in the historic centre of the town Olomouc" => "The Holy Trinity Column was erected in the historic centre of the town of Olomouc"
    • Fixed.
  • "As of 2019, the Czech Republic recorded 16 sites on its tentative list" - contradicts the lead
    • I somehow missed that, thanks!
  • "Fish farming in the are around" - "area" spelt incorrectly
  • "The first spa-related activities at Luhačovice begun in the late 18th century" => "The first spa-related activities at Luhačovice began in the late 18th century"
  • That's it from me - great work! And who wouldn't want to visit a historic sewage plant? ;-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:18, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • @ChrisTheDude: Done, thanks! Let me know your thoughts about the first two points. --Tone 20:50, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Re: point 1, maybe put "when the country was part of the Czech and Slovak Federative Republic (usually known as Czechoslovakia)". Re: point 2, I think "adopted" would be the best word to use -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:15, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • I like that, fixed. And yes, I believe the historic sewage plant must be a fun sight to see. As for water management, the Netherlands has a bunch of related sites as well. --Tone 07:59, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • In the image "Lednice-Valtice" should use an en-dash.
  • "including the Prague Castle" no need for "the"
  • "Minor boundary modification" -> "A minor..."
  • Prague is 616bis.
  • "eponymous 13th century castle " -> "eponymous 13th century" should also be in the pipe.
  • "marker square" I think you mean "market".
  • "Pilgrimage Church of St John of Nepomuk at Zelená Hora" appears to be in "South Moravian Region" and not "Vysočina Region".
    • Huh, it seems the UNESCO reference has it wrong. Looking at the map, it is clearly in Vysočina Region. Added an extra ref for that.
  • "royal city" what's one of those?
    • I assume a city under a direct patronage of the monarch, as opposed to being under other nobles.
  • "Lednice-Valtice estate" en-dash in both columns.
  • "1665-1675" en-dash.
  • "of a Baroque garden" make links to things like Baroque consistent.
    • I link it in the same paragraph already, wouldn't that be too much?
  • "larger and smaller" what does this add??
    • Haha, good point, changed to "of different sizes", which I suppose makes more sense, as it shows variety.
  • Could link Václav Render to the cs.wiki.
    • Good point!
  • 859 is 859rev.
  • 1078 is 1078bis.
  • 1579 is 1589.
  • Czech Republic or Czechia? Be consistent.
    • I am using Czechia in the tables since the UNESCO uses it as well. In the intro, I am using the republic formulation because of the WP links. I could change it ...
  • Paper mill -> Paper Mill (per UNESCO's format).
    • Good point, I redirected the article as well.
  • "the Modernist The Müller Villa" reads odd with two "the" in there.
  • "at the altitude of" -> "at an elevation of".
  • "favourable" which version of Eng is this? I see USEng for "industrialized" but BritEng for "favourable"...
    • I set it to BritEng from start, I suppose my spelling checker did not catch that one.
  • "See also the Great Spas of Europe nomination." what does that mean?!
    • I added a note that this is another nomination from the year 2014 which essentially overlaps. I suppose they realized this should be a group nomination and the one in question will eventually be dropped from the list at some point.
  • Ref 39 needs en-dash, not spaced hyphen.

That's a quick burst through. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 21:03, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Source review – Pass edit

Doing now. Aza24 (talk) 00:21, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Version reviewed: [2]
Formatting
  • It seems a bit disingenuous to give ref 3 the same publisher as the others—I would suggest using template:Cite report and looking here. This link also has an oclc which you may want to include (with simply "|oclc="
  • Is there a reason ref 4 doesn't have UNESCO World Heritage Centre? Likewise with 23
  • Ref 14 seems to be missing a publisher and/or website
Reliability
  • Looks good
Verifiability
  • Page number(s) for the pdf in ref 18 seem like a must
    • @Aza24: I think I fixed them all, please have a look. And thank you for a direct instructions regarding the cite report, that was helpful and time-saving :) --Tone 20:44, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Happy to help! Thanks for your attentiveness, pass for source review. Aza24 (talk) 23:12, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sentences "Both of..." and "The Beech..." should have semicolons instead of commas
  • Remove space after "type."
  • "The chapel used to house" -> "housed"
  • "It was operational until 1967, used for sludge management until the 1980s, and was later converted to a museum" isn't parallel, remove the second "was"
  • No comma after "Cistercian monastery church"
  • I feel like "cultural landscape" is a term just used by UNESCO to describe something retroactively, so "transformed it into a cultural landscape between the 17th and 20th centuries" sounds almost anachronistic. The next sentence does say what exactly they did but this I think could be reworded.
  • Holašovice: "village" is used three times in succession in your paraphrase, and I don't see why "different sizes" needs to be pointed out. Maybe something like "Holašovice is a village that preserves traditional farmsteads from the 18th and 19th centuries. They have facades..."
  • Maybe it autoswitched for me, but the external link was to the English site not Czech.
  • Several things I was going to comment on until I realized they're fine in British English...very nice overall once again! If you have a chance to look at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/National Trails System/archive1 that would be appreciated. Reywas92Talk 15:50, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Reywas92: Fixed, thanks! As for the cultural landscape, one of the definition is "a landscape designed and created intentionally by man" so I think it is ok. I am open to suggestions, though. --Tone 15:09, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment No time for thorough reading but it appears well standardized and has correct formatting. I cannot see any obvious corrections needed, well done! Mattximus (talk) 14:42, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks! --Tone 15:09, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Dudley edit

  • "the other sites are of the cultural type". Why not just "the other sites are cultural"?
  • "During the reign of Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor". I suggest "During the reign of Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor (1346-78)".
  • Pilgrimage Church of St John of Nepomuk at Zelená Hora. I think you need more detail about why this site deserves listing.
  • Tugendhat Villa in Brno. I do not think the image is helpful to the reader. How about one of the exterior?
  • Landscape for Breeding and Training of Ceremonial Carriage Horses at Kladruby nad Labem. I think you need more detail about why this site deserves listing.
  • "It declined from the 18th century on which meant that the burgher houses in Late Gothic and Renaissance styles remained preserved." Perhaps "It declined from the 18th century on, which resulted in the preservation of burgher houses in Late Gothic and Renaissance styles with very little alteration."
  • "Český ráj consists of several sites with rock formations that were created by erosion processes from Cretaceous sandstones." I do not see any reference to erosion in the source. Maybe "Český ráj consists of several sites with rock formations of Cretaceous sandstone." Dudley Miles (talk) 11:53, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
