Talk:UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists

So, What Is This List Really About?
I stumbled across this article by following the thread in a recent news item. Having found it, I am somewhat astonished at what is NOT included. I noticed that strangely there is nothing from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany -- many, many countries which certainly have "intangible cultural heritage" items worthy of inclusion. To me it would almost make more sense to list every country in UN and then identify a single item for the country, and maybe add to the items each year. As-is, the list seems strongly biased to include non-European, non-western countries -- although a reasonable number of "smaller" such countries are included. If anyone can shed additional light on how items come to be nominated for and included this list, it would be enlightening.RoseHawk (talk) 01:24, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

UNESCO References
Quite a few references to UNESCO are obsolete, as they changed their server identifications at least 10 years ago. I modified quite a few which were available by my automatism, but there are still a lot in place. One kind of these are archived copies which aren't necessary, and they obscure the view on changed or deleted items. I'm leaving that for kind souls with (time) capacity.

"Transhumance" is listed twice
It's item 5 and item 22 of the first column in the first table, is there a reason for this? FelixColonCloseParenthesis (talk) 16:49, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
