Buddhas
This article makes no reference to the Buddhas which were in Bamiyan. I understand they were destroyed, but atleast a small note would suffice. Ditto for other destroyed structures. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.26.123.208 (talk) 06:22, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Israel/Palestine
I noticed that the two WHS entries inscribed by Palestine in recent years are both listed under Israel on the main list. While I appreciate the politics of the issue are complicated, UNESCO has identified Palestine as the primary state party responsible for those sites. I think the list should be updated accordingly, by someone better skilled than I am.

Really important
Hello, can anyone kindly add the Al-Maghtas in Jordan to the list? It was recently designated as such. --Makeandtoss (talk) 13:58, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

What's missing?
According to the article Susa, it was added to the list in 2015, but is missing here. The newer end of the list here looks rather scarce, so it might be worthwhile to look up the original listings and check whether there are other sites missing from this and other similar articles. --Oop (talk) 12:45, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Historic Istanbul in Asia
Why is the historic area of Istanbul on this list? The Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace are all in Europe, so shouldn't they be on the Eastern Europe page?? (Central Data Bank (talk) 17:32, 7 December 2018 (UTC))
