I have not yet tackled any of Winston Churchill's voluminous works (Nobel laureate in Literature, 1953), and I'm a bit trepidatious of how many potential sites could be referenced in those works. Has anyone read Churchill's The World Crisis or The Second World War?

And in addition to the World War I sites and Kipling, this is another site that can be linked to Works by Nobel Prize Winning Authors:

Thingvellir: Halldór Laxness (1955), Iceland's Bell

The eponymous bell was on the courthouse at Thingvellir, and the book opens with a party sent to take down the bell at the behest of Denmark, which ruled Iceland at the time.

It looks like you are THE expert on Books on WHS Written by Nobel Prize Winning Authors!

While looking for art deco examples from the Funerary and Memory Sites (already answered anyway...), I spotted an obelisk! At the Buttes New British Cemetery - it is the Fifth Australian Division memorial (https://www.ww1cemeteries.com/bel-5th-australian-division-memorial.html). I'm sure it's not the only one across all 139 locations.

Oh yes, a place where you just expect them to occur!

While preparing for an upcoming visit to Sanqingshan, I stumbled upon the Hoodoo connection. And I wondered, can granite pillars such as those at Sanqingshan also be called hoodoos? Gemini says No.

I suspect there are more non-typical hoodoos in the long list of connected sites, which mostly have no rationale. The Sanqingshan AB ev uses the term 'pictographic stones' for strangely eroded natural objects, while hoodoo seems to be a pure geological term.

Maybe the connection needs a split or a better definition.
Any opinions or ideas?

No Nails Connection

Find a mistake on Silk Roads: Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor : Drum Tower, Xi'an is not part of WHS.

Gold Surfaces Connection

Understand that this connection is only for external surface: The interior gilded ceiling of the cathedral of Piazza del Duomo (Pisa) should be out.

In the San peoples connection, we have Kondoa, and Ngorongoro has also been suggested. This is/would be based on the Sandawe and Hadza peoples respectively.

The Hadza people of Tanzania are not considered San. While both groups are renowned hunter-gatherer societies and share the rare linguistic feature of click consonants, overwhelming scientific evidence from genetics, linguistics, and cultural studies demonstrates that they are two distinct and distantly related populations.

Historically, the Hadza and the San were often grouped under the umbrella term "Khoisan." This classification was primarily based on the presence of click sounds in their languages, a feature that sets them apart from most other African linguistic groups. However, modern research has largely dismantled this single "Khoisan" identity, revealing a more complex and diverse picture.

So I propose to leave them out, unless someone sees this differently.

The Non-Carbonate Karst Landscapes connection has only one site connected to it?

Weird. There should be 3. Will look into it.

Conection: Built or owned by Germans

Krakow is listed under this connection for Oskar Schindler's Factory, but the factory itself is outside of the inscribed WHS area (Wikipedia).

I've checked, and there seem to be some more connections with less than 3 WHS, so some sites may have been lost in the transfer?

- Alfonso de Albuquerque (1 WHS)
- Goryeo (2 WHS)
- Diana, Princess of Wales (2 WHS)

Yes, I am checking all. No need to report, will be fixed.
(they are very rare by the way, among the over 30,000 connected sites)

Phased inscriptions:
Wouldnt the later limes sites belong here too?
