Latvia just got its third site inscribed to the WHS list these days, which means that got to the club where I am comfortable to nominate the list for a FL (those countries with two or less sites on the main list are on the waiting list in my book). Standard style, short and compact. The list for Canada is already seeing some support and Costa Rica has just been promoted. Tone 07:50, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Add Template:Use British English or similar
  • Natural features (consisting of physical and biological formations), geological and physiographical formations (including habitats of threatened species of animals and plants), and natural sites which are important from the point of view of science, conservation or natural beauty, are defined as natural heritage - you introduce the subject of natural features at the start and end of this sentence
  • The area has been inhabited for millennia and features several cultural landscape types - ritual landscape - the way the dash is used, it should be an endash instead of a dash (for copying –)
  • The map box's caption should have no period at the end since it's not a complete sentence

Tone, all done, lovely job MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 01:08, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed, thanks! As for natural, I think it reads fine. This is the formulation that we have distilled after several iterations so I am using it everywhere. Tone 08:26, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support - lovely work! Also, if you get time, would appreciate any comments here- thanks! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 11:23, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • "15-13 thousand years ago" en-dash, and I think typical usage would still be "13–15 thousand years ago", not the other way around. Also, source mentions "formed before 13 - 15 thousand years", so "over 13–15 thousand years ago" would be most accurate.
  • "social landscape, economic landscape" needed a conjunction.
  • "since retained the 18th century integrity" Hard to understand what this means.
  • All I have. AryKun (talk) 14:46, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    ... has retained its 18th century integrity. Makes more sense? I agree it was not very clear. Tone 15:00, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Perhaps "has retained the integrity of its 18th century architectural design, unlike many other European palaces which have been subject to extensive later modifications.", although you can just use the first clause if that's too long. AryKun (talk) 15:12, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Excellent. I'll use the first clause indeed, as the second part is kind of obvious :) Tone 15:29, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Tone, think you missed the first two comments. AryKun (talk) 14:06, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Hm, it looks so. Fixed now :) Tone 17:02, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Source and image review

Might as well do this since the article's so short.

  • Pass source review – all sources as reliable, properly formatted, and spot-checks on most of them found no issues with source-text integrity.
  • Pass image review – all images are properly licensed and used, with alt text. I will note that Latvia only has a non-commercial freedom of panorama, but the only image that would be affected by this, House of the Blackheads, is an FP, so I'll assume its licensing is fine.

GWL[edit]

Really nice to see another WHS FLC! I remember commenting on a lot of these; you now reminded me of the Indo article which I've put on to-do (and which you copyedited ages ago~). I've put invisible comments to divide my comments based on sections. GeraldWL 09:28, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • No problem found on the prose outside of table!
  • Shouldn't Riga be linked at the table?
  • Second row's second sentence is quite wordy, suggest "who first carried out an accurate measurement" --> "who first accurately measured"
  • Suggest making Kuldiga's alt text more descriptive of the building depicted
  • Moving on to tentative: after the first "landscape" I think the rest "landscape"s can be removed since it's already clear and quite repetitive
  • "The Baroque-style"
Fixed all, thanks! --Tone 06:57, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome, it looks great to me, so am giving this a nice support! By the way if you're not busy, I'd love for you to take a look at the Indonesia article, which I've extensively copyedited ^_^ GeraldWL 03:45, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Will do! Haven't checked that one for a while. Tone 07:07, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
