List of World Heritage sites in Albania[edit]

Nominator(s): Tone 19:31, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Following the recent successful nominations of lists in Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina, I think this one is ready as well. Style is consistent with the previous two and there are enough items on both regular and the tentative lists to merit a separate article (admittedly, the Macedonia list was a bit thin in this regard).

Comments from N Oneemuss[edit]

Interesting list. It looks like a lot of work has gone into it and I think I will support.

"dating back to the antiquity" shouldn't have "the" in it.
The link to architecture in the table seems a little unnecessary. Basilica and citadel could maybe be linked though?
Maybe "Byzantine" should link to Byzantine Empire instead of Byzantine architecture?
"two-storey houses". Also, "outstanding" seems a little biased to me.
I'd use "transnational" instead of "transboundary", it seems a bit more specific.
The lead says that the forest site is shared with eleven countries, but you list twelve in the table.
"Beech" should be linked on the first mention instead of the second. Also, European beech might be a better article to link to.
Is there an article you could link "postglacial" to?
Be consistent with British/American English: "archaeological" vs "paleochristian". Also,"20.000" is neither British or American; you could use a comma or a space.
"The area around the town of Pogradec shores of Lake Ohrid" at least one word is missing here.
Pogradec is overlinked.
Also, "paleochristian" 1) should probably be "paleo-Christian" 2) could do with an explanation or a link.
Date ranges shouldn't use a hyphen.
It should be "a close relationship".
The "the" isn't needed in "the Roman times" or "the Ottoman sources", but is missing in "to Via Egnatia". Via Egnatia is also overlinked.
You need a comma after (300 ft).
I think it needs to be "two circular towers and one rectangular tower" because the first one is plural while the second is singular.
Reference 5 could do with a bit more information.
Reference 8 is the only one that says "whc.unesco.org"; this should be consistent across the references.

As you can see, these are all minor points. I'll be happy to support once they're addressed. Great work on this list! N Oneemuss (talk to me · see my edits · email me) 19:17, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Dudley[edit]

Codes such as "570; iii (cultural)" will mean nothing to most readers. It would be helpful to link to a page explaining the code.
"Butrint is known for its archeological and natural heritage. Numerous monuments, some dating back to antiquity, are still extant, such as the city walls, a late-antique baptistery, great basilica, theatre, and Venetian castles. The site is situated within a natural woodland with a complex ecosystem that depends on the nearby freshwater of Lake Butrint and Vivari Channel." This does not sem to me a good description of the site. 1. I would suggest listing the phases, Greek colony, Roman city, late antique bishopric, Byzantine and then Venetian occupation, abandoned late Middle Ages. 2. The source does not mention city walls, though it implies them - fortifications from the period of Greek colony to Middle Ages is better. 3. "late-antique baptistery" should be linked to Baptistery of Butrint. 4. "great basilica". I would say ninth-century basilica. 5. theatre - Greek theatre. 6. "Venetian castles" and "complex ecosystem that depends on the nearby freshwater of Lake Butrint and Vivari Channel" are not mentioned in the source so far as I can see.

- Thanks! I think the Butrinit description mostly remained from an earlier iteration. Your suggestion made it better. As for the UNESCO data, in one of the previous nominations we figured out that the best approach to solve this is the way we have now - the abbr template states that this is the reference number, while the criteria are linked above in the text. I wouldn't change it further. --Tone 18:43, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have looked again at this article and made some edits. It looks close to FL but I have found that several of the places mentioned such as the Paleochristian Church, Lin have their own articles and there are probably others. I think you need to do a thorough check to see which places have their own articles which can be linked. Dudley Miles (talk) 10:54, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Good point! In addition, I found out that Bazaar Mosque, Gjirokastër also has an article. Linked. --Tone 11:45, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
