List of World Heritage Sites in Ethiopia

 * Nominator(s): Tone 08:40, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

I have been recently working on the WHS lists for Africa. Ethiopia has the highest number of sites listed, 11. This includes sites such as Lalibela, Axum, and sites related to human evolution. Standard style for WHS lists. As you may notice, I started using a new column spacing because of the new default layout - this way there is more room for the description column. The list for India has just been promoted, the list for Australia is already seeing support, so I am adding a new nomination. Tone 08:40, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Comments

 * "and drop in the number of populations of large mammals" => "and a drop in the number of populations of large mammals" (in two places)
 * "to substitute the places in the Holy Land in the time when the pilgrimages there were not possible" => "to substitute for places in the Holy Land at a time when pilgrimages there were not possible"
 * "and Greco-Roman world" => "and the Greco-Roman world"
 * " daring from the 3rd and 4th centuries" => " dating from the 3rd and 4th centuries"
 * I can both "stele" and "stelae" - which is the correct plural of this word?
 * "Konso people have lived" => "The Konso people have lived"
 * "People maintain their traditions" => "The people maintain their traditions"
 * "Bale Mountains comprise" => "The Bale Mountains comprise"
 * "or phalic-shaped " => "or phallic-shaped "
 * "an important Islamic pilgrimage sites" => "an important Islamic pilgrimage site"
 * "Stone tools begin withe earliest Oldowan tools" => "Stone tools begin with the earliest Oldowan tools"
 * That's what I got - great work as ever! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:45, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Fixed all, thanks! I'll go with stelae as the plural form, the article uses it. Tone 18:29, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:45, 21 January 2024 (UTC)


 * AK
 * Fixed a couple of minor issues I saw myself. Only a couple comments.
 * "sediments spanning between 3.5 and one million years ago" Confusing, maybe "sediment layers from between 3.5 and one million years ago"?
 * "afro-alpine habitat" What does this mean? Alpine habitats in Africa are not ipso facto different from those elsewhere in the world.
 * "phallic-shaped" should be either just "phallic" or "phallus-shaped"
 * That's all I got. AryKun (talk) 15:20, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Fixed, thank you! I suppose afro-alpine refers to the fact that these are Alpine habitats in Africa, meaning that different plant and animal species will be present, and probably different rain/snow patterns. I was following the source here. Tone 23:35, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Support on the basis of prose. I removed afro because you say "in Africa" afterwards anyway. AryKun (talk) 08:36, 24 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Image review from Dylan620
 * All images are appropriately licensed. The first Simien picture raised an eyebrow at first because the licensing on the original Flickr reserves all rights. However, a look at the image's license history reveals that it was licensed under CC-BY-2.0 Deed until December 3, 2010; as the file was uploaded to Commons on March 31 of that year, the former license applies, and the image is OK to use here.
 * Encyclopedic value and visual appeal are both through the roof (each entry is properly represented; multiple awe-inspiring shots of nature and architecture). The photo of the Sof Omar cave strikes me as a potential FP.
 * Alt text accurately describes what is seen in each image, leaving little to be desired. There were a couple typos, but I've taken the liberty of fixing them myself.
 * The only thing that should be changed is that each set of parenthetical "pictured" notations in the description column should be italicized, but that is too small an issue to prevent me from supporting on images. Excellent work here, . Dylan 620  (he/him • talk • edits) 21:37, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I am avoiding the italicized (pictured), because sometimes I use the term in a sentence, and then it would be inconsistent. Tone 21:53, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * That's fair enough. Dylan 620  (he/him • talk • edits) 21:57, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
