Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on July 29, 2009.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the Netherlands and the Netherlands Antilles have eight properties of cultural and natural heritage (Mill Network at Kinderdijk-Elshout pictured) listed on UNESCO's World Heritage List?
Current status: Featured list

issues tag on article[edit]

I note the article is currently tagged for multiple issues but I do not really agree that those are valid issues. The tagging states "It needs additional references or sources for verification"; that "It relies largely or entirely upon a single source"; that "It needs sources or references that appear in third-party publications"; and that "It may contain improper references to self-published sources." Since the article is about World Heritage Site listings, and the World Heritage program is an entirely reliable source about that program, I don't see that there is any problem at all. The WHS sources are not self-published by the wikipedia editor(s) who are developing this article. Sure, adding any other commentary, if available, about the WHS program, would be fine too. But, I am inclined to remove the tagging shortly, though I'll wait for responses. doncram (talk) 23:30, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd support the removal of the information per my rationale on the peer review. Nev1 (talk) 23:31, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Museum de Cruquius[edit]

The Museum de Cruquius article states that it is a WHS, but it doesn't appear on the table. I'd add it myself but am not sure of which criteria it meets. Mjroots (talk) 07:38, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's no WHS in the Netherlands under that name [1], could it be called something else? Nev1 (talk) 09:25, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oops! try Museum De Cruquius! Mjroots (talk) 15:44, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Unless I'm missing something, the museum doesn't seem to be a World Heritage Site. It's not on the list under that or a similar name (all 8 sites are in the table above) and none of the sites correspond with the coordinates given in the article on the museum.
