Canada has 20 WHS and 12 on the tentative list. Standard style for this type of articles. The list for Costa Rica is already seeing support so I am adding another nomination. Tone 08:55, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As a side note, Canada just got two new sites listed while this nomination is ongoing, so the lists do change every now and then. UNESCO lately started to use rather truncated texts at the site descriptions, so I am leaving the web-archived nomination refs as well. Tone 08:22, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Canada has served as a member of the World Heritage Committee four times, 1976–1978, 1985–1991, 1995–2001, and 2005–2009. - after "four times" I suggest using a colon instead of a comma
  • Centuries use "th" per MOS:CENTURY - looking specifically at "11-century", but there may be other instances
  • The complex contains eight turf houses, three of which were dwellings, one forge, and four workshops used for ship repair. - using commas for "three of which were dwellings" makes it look like part of the list; use parantheses to avoid confusion: "The complex contains eight turf houses (three of which were dwellings), one forge, and four workshops used for ship repair.
  • The site at Joggins has produced some of the best fossil record from the Carboniferous period... - fossil record? Do you mean fossil records? Or possibly fossils recorded?
  • a historical photo from Chilkoot Pass in 1898 is shown - replace shown with "pictured"
  • No image for Qajartalik?
  • The landscape in the high Arctic is defined by ice, however... - semicolon after ice

Tone, all done, very nice work. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 14:06, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for checking! Fossil record is the correct term, and there is no free image for Qajartalik (the one in the dedicated article is fair use, which does not fly in this one). Fixed the rest. Tone 16:07, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • "The rivers" You don't mention any rivers that this could refer to previously.
  • "is the breeding ground" a breeding ground, whooping crane has two breeding populations.
  • "exhibit mountain landscape" landscapes?
  • "Landlocked freshwater fjords, glacier-scoured headlands" needs a conjunction
  • "present on a small area" in a small area?
  • "some of the best fossil record" pluralize
  • "brought around tens of thousands of prospectors" Tens of thousands is already approximate, around is redundant.
  • "assemblies at the Anticosti Island" remove "the".
  • "and they disappeared" "They" seems kind of unnecessary.
  • All I got, mostly just nit-picking on prose. Close enough to a support, but prose issues should still be addressed. AryKun (talk) 14:40, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Fixed, thanks! I believe "fossil record" is singular, as it is a separate term, not "records". For Dorset, I wanted to highlight that they have not met Thule people as they have disappeared before their arrival. Tone 15:26, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    If record is singular, it should be "one of the best fossil records" instead of "some of". AryKun (talk) 15:33, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Works with me :) Tone 17:16, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Source review – Reference formatting and reliability looks okay across the board. Unfortunately, it appears as if the site hosting the link-checker tool has bitten the dust, so I can't do that check, at least not without knowledge of a replacement tool.
