8. Jane (talk) 05:53, 23 July 2011 (UTC) I created the WP:WLM project to spread awareness and also as an attempt to fix up the Eurozone infrastructure on these articles before September on participating language projects (fr/de/nl/pl/ru, to name the biggies). Theoretically, all participating language projects should (at least!) have (stubs for) all of the world heritage site articles of all the other participating countries. Starting with English, I am trying to get the "list of WHS per country" created which includes the country's nominated sites, since those are presumeably the top national ones that we need articles and pictures for.
