List of World Heritage Sites in Thailand

 * Nominator(s): Tone 07:56, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Thailand has six WHS and a further seven on the tentative list. The style is standard for the WHS lists. Italy has just been promoted (many thanks to everyone who found time to go through that massive list - the next couple of nominations will be shorter) and Cambodia is already seeing some support, so I am adding a new nomination.

Comments

 * Sukhothai (Wat_Mahathat pictured) - lose that underscore
 * "They were important in development of first distinct Siamese architectural style" => "They were important in the development of the first distinct Siamese architectural style"
 * "The large sandstone rock formations in the area have inspired peoples through centuries" => "The large sandstone rock formations in the area have inspired peoples throughout the centuries"
 * Buddha is wikilinked in at least two places, only needs linking once
 * "It is located on a rim of an extinct volcano" => "It is located on the rim of an extinct volcano"
 * "the remains of the water managements system" => "the remains of the water management system"
 * That's what I got! :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:55, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Done, thanks! I left Buddha linked because of the sortable tables, the rest if fixed. Tone 10:23, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

 * First sentence in lede is somewhat convoluted, could do with copy-editing. Eg in "which have been nominated by countries which are signatories to the" the phrase "countries which are" could be dropped, as only countries can be signatories.
 * Conventions are adopted, not established.
 * Map: Per H:Colorblind - red and green should not be used together, needs a new colour scheme, would suggest yellow, green and light green.
 * Map caption mentions sites five times. What about: "World Heritage Sites in Thailand. Yellow indicates sites of cultural value, green natural (with the multi-site Dong Phayayen–Khao Yai Forest Complex light green)"
 * As of 2022, Thailand has six sites on the list. -> As of 2022, Thailand has successfully nominated six sites to the list.
 * As of 2022, Thailand also has seven sites on the tentative list. -> As of 2022, Thailand has placed an additional seven sites on the tentative list.
 * See also section: perhaps add History of Thailand and Geography of Thailand.


 * Thanks for checking! I changed the colours on the map as suggested (I left the blue dots because I am not sure if light green is available). As for the lede, this is the standard wording that we've been using over many many articles, so unless it is fundamentally wrong, I'd leave it as it is. Geography and history links are already in the link box at the bottom. Tourism perhaps makes sense since the UNESCO sites get visited a lot. Sometimes I add a link to lists of historical sites but we could just as well go without that section. Tone 12:57, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi @Tone - I checked at the store and they do have more colours available ... :) ... I'm less concerned with which colour, but looking at the map now, I can see my recommendation for yellow doesn't show up well. Perhaps try a different combination bearing in mind the colour blind issue (maybe gold?).  For logic it seemed to me the multisite location should be a shade of the matching type, but when I tested it in light green it did not seem to distinguish clearly, so perhaps not necessary (shaded, that is). As for the lede, the part I would insist on is "adopted", it's quite specific language ("The Convention was adopted by the General Conference of UNESCO on 16 November 1972", "The General Conference of UNESCO adopted on 16 November 1972 the Recommendation concerning the Protection at National Level, of the Cultural and Natural ...", "The adoption of the 2005 Convention for the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions was a milestone in international cultural policy").

 * I changed the text following your suggestion in the Cambodia article, I think it reads nice. I replaced the dots with gold, better than yellow for sure. I agree with the shaded green, that's why I left it blue :) Tone 14:34, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Comments by Dudley

 * "Wat Mahathat". "Wat Mahathat temple" would be clearer.
 * Thungyai–Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuaries. It would be helpful to give the area.
 * Ban Chiang. I think you should say that it is a large mound.
 * "Due to its location at the contact of the Himalayan, Indochina, and Sumatran faunal and floral realms". "junction" would be a better word than "contact".
 * "Early shrines date to the Dvaravati period." When?
 * "The serial nomination". What is a serial nomination? Dudley Miles (talk) 11:19, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Fixed all, thanks! Serial nomination is a nomination that covers more than one site/location, I removed the word to avoid confusion, the text still reads fine. Tone 14:03, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Support. Looks fine now. Dudley Miles (talk) 15:26, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * "Wat Mahathat temple" is redundant. It would be like describing "Schloss Neuschwanstein castle" or "Loch Ness lake". --Paul_012 (talk) 17:17, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * You are correct, wat means temple. I will remove it. Tone 12:54, 12 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Source review – All of the references appear to be reliable and well-formatted, and the link-checker tool shows no concerns. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 21:43, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
