List of World Heritage Sites in Africa

 * Nominator(s): Eric Leb 01 (Page &#124; Talk) , Arsenikk (talk)  02:44, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

One of hopefully six lists that feature World Heritage Sites to be nominated here. World Heritage Sites in Africa have had a rough time properly maintaining what gave them the prestigious label in the first place: diverse fauna and flora, important historical sites, culturally significant locations, and above all else, the fact that they have been relatively unscathed from the effects of continuous human evolution. Various risk factors have come into play in recent years, such as civil wars, poaching, illegal timber exports, and unrest; reasons for which UNESCO has placed 12% of the continent's site on their List of World Heritage in Danger, the highest percentage worldwide. Hopefully this list is satisfactory and reviewers enjoy reading it. Eric Leb 01 (Page &#124; Talk)  02:44, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Very glad to see this list at FLC. Looks very good. Just a couple of comments/questions/suggestions...

 * In the map, you should add a note above the color squares that the dots on the map are the locations of the sites. As it would help the user understand better.
 * Also I would change the † to per ACCESS for JEWS readers and such.
 * Some of the PDF refs do not have |format=PDF in thier cites, you should add them.
 * In the Legend - The picture of sorting is now diffrent than what it uses now. If you want to use it I would change it to the ones used (due to WP updating to version 1.8) or better just write to click on the triangles in the header.
 * Done. And I would appreciate if you could change the sort image as well, because I can't seem to find the image on Commons, if it even exists. Thanks for the comments. Eric Leb 01 (Page &#124; Talk)  01:00, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Support - just the bellow part is need, and the image it self is called File:Sort both.gif.
 * Just one thing from above, Can you do the as above ?.
 * Oh, you wanted them all changed? Okay, fixed. Also I reverted your change to the map's legend; I originally made the first change you requested but changed the alt text instead of the caption. Oops, haha. Eric Leb 01 (Page &#124; Talk)  02:02, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Comment: This is a very good list, but there's just one detail that troubles me: having "List" as a section title. Perhaps changing it to "Sites"? Parutakupiu (talk) 22:50, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. I wasn't sure what to call it. Thanks for the suggestion! Eric Leb 01 (Page &#124; Talk)  23:56, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Two more things:
 * Could you mark the Réunion site in the map?
 * "Gough and Inaccessible Islands" are not located on "Saint Helena" but in Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. This needs to be fixed in two places: in the intro and in the table. bamse (talk) 13:27, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. Good catch on the map. Eric Leb 01 (Page &#124; Talk)  02:20, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
