List of World Heritage Sites in Costa Rica

 * Nominator(s): Tone 08:53, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Costa Rica has four WHS and one site on the tentative list. With the lists for Panama and Yemen just promoted, I am this time nominating a shorter list. Standard format. I am saving some longer ones for later (Canada, Argentina, India are more or less ready - suggestions which one to run next welcome!) Tone 08:53, 25 August 2023 (UTC) Thanks for this nomination! I only have one real comment: Regarding your next list, I'd like to suggest Germany. By the way, what do you think about the maps used in that list? That's potentially useful. If Germany is an acceptable option for you, I'd be happy to work on it with you. I also speak German, so that might help with the sources. Thanks again for your work!

 * Comments from Actualcpscm
 * It would be good to clarify this sentence: Costa Rica accepted the convention on 23 August 1977. What does "accepted" here mean? If they became signatory to the convention, did they ratify it on the same day?


 * Ratified, indeed, per source. Fixed. Ha, yes, I may try to work on Germany once I am done with the current one. It will be a long one but interesting. Tone 13:46, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
 * If you don't mind, I'll get started with Germany :) It'd only be my second FLC, and the first is still ongoing. So if you want to hop in at some point, just let me know. Actualcpscmscrutinize, talk 16:21, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Good luck! Follow the style of other FLs and use UNESCO sources as the primary material, in particular the actual justifications at criteria, and it should go smooth. I think I was mostly skipping Germany so far because of the map, but hey, it worked for Italy, so ... :D Tone 16:46, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Wl pelagic species to pelagic fish
 * Stretching from the Pacific coast across the mountain range with the highest peak Rincón de la Vieja at 1,916 metres (6,286 ft) (pictured) to the lowlands on the Caribbean side, the area comprises numerous habitats. - the dependent clause in this is rather large, I think it could use a bit of rearranging- perhaps, "Stretching from the Pacific coast across Rincón de la Vieja, the mountain range with the highest peak at 1,916 metres (6,286 ft) (pictured), the area comprises numerous habitats."
 * Anytime "(pictured)" is referring to an image, I suggest italicizing it
 * Some of them reach more than 2.5 metres... - "some of the spheres..."


 * Fixed, thanks! As for italicizing "pictured", this has been raised before. The thing is, some times I am using just (pictured), on other occasions this is a part of the sentence, so by not italicizing I am keeping it consistent. Tone 16:51, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

I see that this has been listed as need a source review- why not? No spotcheck, looking at formatting/reliability. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 12:51, 17 September 2023 (UTC) , little concerns over this, lovely work as usual.

 * Source review
 * Ref 4: Remove "UNESCO World Heritage Center" from the citation title
 * Ref 11 links to a page about Panama City?


 * Fixed, thanks! I guess a copy-paste error from Panama article on ref 11, good you spotted it :) Tone 15:05, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Pass - also, if you get some time, I'd appreciate any comments at this FLC or this one; thanks! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 17:18, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
