List of World Heritage Sites in Sudan (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Nominator(s): Tone 06:04, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sudan has three WHS and 15 sites on the tentative list. Standard style. The list for Tunisia has just been promoted, the list for Botswana (where I am the co-nominator) is seeing some support already so I am adding a new nomination. Tone 06:04, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • "which existed over a millennium" - Add some rough dates here.
  • "contains the Meidob volcanic field (satellite image pictured), the Jebel Rahib hills, "
  • "The park significant from the natural point of view because" to "The park is biologically significant because"
  • "The area is a desert and semi desert with sand dunes." Needs fixing depending on what you want to say.
  • " seat of medieval Christian bishops"
  • "rededicated to Aten under Akhenaten." to "rededicated to Aten, during the rule of Akhenaten."
  • "left by the pilgrims through the centuries."
  • Bit weird to have both "Wadi Hower National Park - Gala Abou Ahmed (mixed natural and cultural site)" and "Wadi Hower National Park". Would need an explanation. Also, the my second point applies here too since the text is quite similar. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:59, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Fixed, thanks! As for the two Wadi Hower listings, it appears that they updated the nomination but did not remove the old one (which would be a reasonable thing to do). I've seen it before in some cases, but it is rare. Since technically these are two distinct nominations, although overlapping, I would leave it as it is. Maybe I'll add a note on the second one.

  • "The first site in Sudan was listed in 2003, this was Jebel Barkal and the associated sites." - I think "The first site to be listed in Sudan was Jebel Barkal and the associated sites in 2003." would work better
  • "which existed over a millennium" => "which existed for over a millennium""
  • "and Middle East" => "and the Middle East"
  • "in the 3rd and 2nd millennium BCE" => "in the 3rd and 2nd millennia BCE"
  • "It was dedicated to archangel Raphael." => "It was dedicated to the archangel Raphael."
  • "between the 6th and 1st millennium BCE" => "between the 6th and 1st millennia BCE"
