List of World Heritage Sites in Armenia[edit]
List of World Heritage Sites in Armenia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Slovakia has been recently promoted and Czechia is almost there. Now I am covering the Caucasus. Armenia has 3 sites and 4 tentative ones, so the list is a bit shorter than the previous ones, but still long enough. The style is standard. Azerbaijan and Georgia lists will be next.

- Comments
- "Following the breakup of Soviet Union" => "Following the breakup of the Soviet Union"
- "Armenia succeeded the convention" - "succeeded" definitely isn't the right word here, but I am not sure what is. Do you mean the country adopted the convention?
- "with additional four on the tentative list." => "with an additional four on the tentative list."
- That's all I got :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:40, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @ChrisTheDude: Thank you! Fixed. As for the "succession of the convention", that's the wording the UNESCO site uses. I could change it but it makes sense to me ... --Tone 08:38, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I saw that, but what does it actually mean? Does it mean the date the country adopted/signed up to the convention? "Succeed" used as a transitive verb can only mean either "to follow in sequence and especially immediately" or "to come after as heir or successor" (ref: Merriam Webster) so "the country succeeded the convention" definitely isn't a correct usage..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:33, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I would suggest using "ratified", like the Slovakia list...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:36, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Source review – Pass[edit]
Comments below. Aza24 (talk) 20:19, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Formatting
- A missing retrieval date in ref 9, which I assumed is because the live link is dead, so no issues (?)
- Updated.
- Reliability
- The established convention has been to use UNESCO sources for UNESCO lists, so no issues here.
- Verifiability
- Refs 7, 12 good
- Ref 10, not seeing some of this, shouldn't it be Khosrow II? The dates aren't matching either
- It must be a typo in the UNESCO source, it was Khosrow III that is associated with Dvin in the 4th century CE. I added an extra reference for the time period, though sources are messy (Iranica says " The often expressed view that Ḵosrow had previously shifted the capital from Artaxata to Dvin is based on an unreliable report of Moses of Khorene (9th century), who relied on the much shorter text of Pseudo Faustus." But I don't want to get into such details for a brief description.)
- Ref 13 seems fine, though I think when the source says "This area of the Vorotan Valley is of considerable geological interest" they mean that there is much in the valley which is of particular geological value (i.e. important rocks or rock formations maybe). Your "The valley is also interesting from the geological point of view" seems to downplay this a little; am I making sense here? Aza24 (talk) 20:19, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support by Grapple X[edit]
I've given this a combing over and I'm happy with it as it stands; my only concern is a minor one--we have a pretty short list here with no great reams of text, and yet the word "site" is used about thirty separate times. I know a lot of this is unavoidable but I think a few of these instances could possibly be reworded, for example All three sites are cultural sites
could stand to simply drop the first "sites"; similarly perhaps As of 2021, Armenia had four such sites on its tentative list
could switch it with "candidates" or something of that ilk. It's not an important concern and not one which would prevent my support, but worth some consideration. 𝄠ʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ꭗ 18:44, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you! Well, it is an official naming, I am sometimes using "nomination" instead, but often it is indeed unavoidable. --Tone 07:41, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Image review — Pass[edit]
- File:Geghard entrance-IMG 2525.JPG — How do we know that this is licenced under CC Attr 2.5? Do we have a direct link?
- File:Tatev Monastery from a distance.jpg — How do we know that this is licenced under CC Attr 3.0? Especially as its uses Facebook as the source.
Please ping me whenever you reply. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 10:01, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @Kavyansh.Singh: Nice catch. Since there are alternatives without dubious licences available, I replaced both. --Tone 15:52, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- In that case, Pass for image review. I have nominated File:Tatev Monastery from a distance.jpg for deletion. The recently added images seem to be appropriately licenced. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 16:10, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from Reywas92[edit]
- "important centres of learning" is vague, who is learning what?
- I removed the sentence, this was one of key things the medieval monasteries did. The source does not directly say whether they were learning religious things or crafts and similar.
- "according to tradition by Gregory the Illuminator, following the adoption of Christianity as a state religion in Armenia" is too close to the source's text
- Rephrased.
- khachkar should be italicized, and maybe defined instead of just linked
- Done.
- "Armenia had four such sites" should be present tense
- Fixed.
- Dvin: since the source says "regional administrative centre", maybe say "regional capital" instead of "regional centre", which is ambiguous for what it's a centre of. Though since it already says "serve as the capital of Armenia" either form seems redundant.
- I'll go with regional capital, as the capital of the Sassanid Empire was elsewhere.
- The lead should summarize the sites, such as most being monasteries and religious sites.
- Done, makes sense.
- https://armenia.travel/en/history/unesco-world-heritage-in-armenia should be an external link.
- Why not, added.
