2010 World Monuments Watch List of Most Endangered Sites[edit]

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review to publicise the release of the 2010 World Monuments Watch List of Most Endangered Sites and more importantly the plight of the great historic buildings and sites on the list.

Thanks, Bizegar (talk) 17:57, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This list looks to be in a fairly early stage of development. Here are some suggestions for moving it forward:-

  • Note C says that the information in the "Period" column is taken from the online Watch List site. I can't find this information - can you tell me where it is?
  • What was the basis for choosing the buildings which are illustrated on the right of the table, out of a list of 90+ items?
  • The information in the extensive captions needs to be cited to sources
  • The captions are in fact way too long; WP:Captions suggests that three lines should normally be the maximum length of a picture caption. It may, however, be possible to incorporate some of this information into the article.
  • The online Watch List site, as your main source, should be listed under References, with publisher and access date information
  • Refs 1 and 2 appear to be identical sources
  • The text before the list would be better as a single expanded lead rather than as three very short sections.

That's about all I have. Brianboulton (talk) 23:24, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
