Talk:List of heritage registers

Questions

What if a building is destroyed, despite the efforts of preservationists? Does this mean it should go down the memory hole?

What about buildings that are not on any official registry but that people want to talk about? I think you should be able to make a category. Significant (Historic? Buildings of (e.g.) Columbia, Missouri

If a historic building is destroyed, but was documented, like the historic Penn Station in New York City whose demolition sparked a U.S. historic preservation movement, it certainly is wikipedia notable. If buildings are on an official registry, it is easier for wikipedia to deal with, because significance has been judged by third parties, and there is documentation available. About the buildings in Columbia, MO, do you mean these ones? You are entitled to write articles about them! doncram (talk) 06:53, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Today I started this List of destroyed heritage. A mention for every destroyed monument to avoid them go down the memory hole. emijrp (talk) 21:26, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Invitation

To form a WikiProject Historic Sites, to cover officially registered sites world-wide, designated by any level of government. To sign up as a founding member, please sign up at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#WikiProject Historic Sites ! :) doncram (talk) 06:53, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Ooops! Sorry, just read this now, and I have created a project page here: Wikipedia:Wiki Loves Monuments 2011. I didn't even know I was supposed to write a proposal, but since I am just trying to consolidate in English what has been going on this year for WLM in Europe I guess there really isn't even a project on the English Wikipedia, just an translation of an international one. Maybe next year for a world-wide WLM? Jane (talk) 07:06, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Looks like the project was finally created: Wikipedia:WikiProject Historic sites. Congrats. emijrp (talk) 22:49, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Shouldn't this be moved to the List of national heritage registers? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:30, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Improving the List of heritage registers as part of the Connected Heritage Project

Dear all

We are working on a project called Connected Open Heritage which aims to document built cultural heritage in danger around the world. Currently no organisation holds a central list of different immovable cultural heritage registers so our first task is collate it. The nearest resource available is the the Wikipedia article 'List of Heritage Registers'

We are asking people from all around the world to contribute to this list, you can in two ways:

1. Help collate a list of built heritage registers on Wikipedia. We will then contact these organisations to encourage them to release their data, media and text under Wikimedia compatible licenses.
2. Help complete country reports for each country on

The countries we are most interested in getting information for are:

• Afghanistan
• Argentina
• Bosnia and Herzegovina
• Chile
• China
• Egypt
• Fiji
• Georgia
• India
• Indonesia
• Iraq
• Israel
• Italy
• Japan
• Jordan
• Kenya
• Mali
• Mexico
• Moldova
• Morocco
• Nepal
• New Zealand
• Pakistan
• Palau
• Palestine
• Panama
• Peru
• Phillipines
• Romania
• Samoa
• South Africa
• Spain
• Syria
• Tanzania
• Turkey
• United Kingdom
• United States of America
• Yemen

Inaccurate page name, suggest changing it to List of built heritage registers

Hi

There are many kinds of heritage including built heritage, intangible cultural heritage, natural heritage, languages etc. This is a list of built cultural heritage, the title covers a much larger topic which could not really be covered by one page. I suggest moving this page to List of built heritage registers.

Thanks
