List of World Heritage Sites in Malaysia[edit]

Nominator(s): Tone 10:47, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Malaysia has four sites on the World Heritage Sites list and six on the tentative list. Standard style and formatting. The list for Sri Lanka is already seeing support so I am adding a new nomination. Tone 10:47, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

  • "Other sites date to different periods of Paleolithic and Neolithic" => "Other sites date to the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods"
  • "dated to be about 10 000 years old" => "dated to be about 10,000 years old"
  • "Many animal and plan species" - is that a typo for "plant"?
  • "with over 2 400 patients at its peak" => "with over 2,400 patients at its peak"
  • "to live as close as normal as possible" => "to live as close to normal as possible"
  • "between 35 000 and 40 000 years old" => "between 35,000 and 40,000 years old"
  • Think that's it from me :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:56, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Fixed all, thanks! Tone 21:22, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from HAL[edit]

  • The second lead paragraph seems a little sparse.
  • Should Historic Cities of the Straits of Malacca be singular? (as it is in its own article)
  • The two sites listed in 2000 are natural, the other two are cultural Two independent clauses can't be linked with just a comma
  • at least one of the criteria --> "at least one criterion" (moreso a suggestion - it's up to you ofc)
  • the oldest most complete human skeleton I don't know what this means... Is it supposed to be "oldest and most complete" or "oldest mostly complete" or something else?
  • remains of continuous human occupation maybe change to "evidence of..." to avoid repetition of "remains"

That's all. ~ HAL333 21:07, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed, thanks! Tone 21:23, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Happy to support. ~ HAL333 21:35, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Reywas92[edit]

  • Your first sentence is different from others. "...which have been nominated by countries which are signatories..." is a bit awkward; the second "which" should be "that", but maybe go back to a simpler wording like before.
  • The second and third sentences should be parallel: "Cultural heritage consists of..." and then "Natural heritage [includes][consists of]..." instead of the latter being reversed.
  • "As of 2022" isn't necessary, this isn't something likely to be out of date soon.
  • "while the most recent one" -> "and". These statements are complimentary, not contrasting.
  • "Malaysia has served" -> "Malaysia served"
  • "in the years 2011–2015" -> "from 2011 to 2015", we can tell they're years.
  • Kinabalu Park: point out that it's Malaysia's tallest mountain
  • Having written many descriptions in my national park lists I know it's hard to summarize a place's diversity comprehensively and concisely, but "In addition to diverse flora, the area is also home to several species of mammals, birds, amphibians, and reptiles" is awfully vague. Maybe point out the orchids or other specific plant or animal types, or tie the vegetation zones to the diversity.
  • Mulu: "both due its" -> "due to both its"
  • Malacca: in the early 16th century -> starting in
  • 1.83 million year old" needs hyphens

Nice work again! Reywas92Talk 04:47, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed all, thanks for checking! Tone 09:08, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Source review[edit]

Another easy support. All the citations are to UNESCO, and I'm going to forego the spotchecks on account of the nominator's previous competence. Godspeed. –♠Vamí_IV†♠ 17:23, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
