List of World Heritage Sites in South Africa

 * Nominator(s): Tone 16:05, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

South Africa is the country with the second-highest number of WHS in Africa (Ethiopia, with one more, is already seeing some support, so I am adding a new nomination). Standard style. 10 sites and two tentative ones, so this is a medium-sized list. Again, suggestions about which list to nominate next are welcome ;) Tone 16:05, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Did a c/e to fix more minor issues.
 * "the anti-Apartheid activist, who later became the president of the country" to "the anti-Apartheid activist and future president of the country"?
 * "not appropriate for agriculture" to "unsuitable for agriculture"?
 * That's all I have, nice work on this list. AryKun (talk) 14:13, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for checking! I fixed the agriculture as you suggested, for Mandela I think the original wording is somewhat better. Tone 16:37, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support on the basis of prose from me. AryKun (talk) 16:52, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

I will review this in the near future with a probable focus on images. Dylan 620 (he/him • talk • edits) 20:49, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Dropping a courtesy note that I haven't forgotten about this! I've been reviewing a GAN for a rather lengthy article – it had been waiting nearly seven months for a reviewer, I had already dibbed the review a few days before I commented here, and unforeseen real-life circumstances resulted in the review itself taking longer than I had anticipated. I'm starting to look at the images now. Dylan 620  (he/him • talk • edits) 17:36, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Quick side note that ref 16 goes to the wrong place: it links to UNESCO's page for Holqa Sof Omar, a WHS in Ethiopia. Dylan 620  (he/him • talk • edits) 23:25, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Fixed, thanks! Tone 00:01, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
 * No prob! By the way, the image review itself is an easy pass. (I actually went to hit the 'publish' button and EC'd with your note above hehe) All images present add encyclopedic value, alt text is suitably descriptive, usage is compliant with each image's license, and the sources verify each caption. I was initially concerned about the Robben image because its uploader was blocked indefinitely on ENWP for copyright violations in late 2023. However, a thorough web search has come up negative for other sites the image could have come from. On top of that, the photo's description states that it was taken as part of a scholarship paid for by the WMF. Without either indulging copyright paranoia nor having looked more deeply into the uploader's contributions on this wiki, I am going to assume that the violations for which the user got blocked were more pertaining to text than to images, and even if there are imagevios, I'm just not seeing any red flags to indicate that the Robben image is one of them. With that said, this list ticks all the image-related boxes needed for FL status, and I am happy to support. Dylan 620  (he/him • talk • edits) 00:05, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
