:Another comment to add on to earlier suggestions, it might be worth also explaining what UNESCO's official position is on sites located in other [[Territorial disputes of the People's Republic of China|disputed territories claimed by China but controlled by other countries]]. Taiwan should still have its own distinct, detailed mention given its unique case and Taiwan not being a party to the convention but other disputed territories should also be addressed if possible.

::{{ping|Dantheanimator}} Good comments! Yes, political issues here, but since this is a list of UNESCO sites and follows the official source, I would not want to go too much into details. I tend to keep the articles to the minimum in view of content, otherwise they quickly spiral to large lengths. List of sites, map, dates, endangered (if), shared sites, country serving on UNESCO Committee, that's more or less it. There are no sites and also no tentative sites in the disputed parts of the map. For example, the FLs for India and Venezuela do not mention details on the disputed areas either (and not sites in that area). I would consider adding a discussion in a situation similar to [[List of World Heritage Sites in Serbia]], where the [[Medieval Monuments in Kosovo]] had been listed some years before Kosovo declared independence. The other specific situation is with the [[Old City of Jerusalem]] site, which was proposed by Jordan. There actually is a [[List of potential World Heritage Sites in Taiwan]], but this list is not recognized by UNESCO because of the reasons you mention above. There is some discussion in that article but I'd prefer stronger sources. I changed the province-level, good suggestion. I think the link provides the required details. For the US list, I used state-level for location and footnotes for non-states, such as the unincorporated territories (Puerto Rico), but here the link makes perfect sense. As for the sites previously in danger, if I see correctly, China had none. Otherwise, I tend to include those details, as well as reasons why they were listed and removed from the endangered list. As for the national heritage, I don't know. Again, it seems going into details. There are two links in see also, maybe that part could be extended? --'''[[User:Tone|Tone]]''' 10:02, 5 July 2025 (UTC)
