• Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
• An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{t|sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
• An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.

Hello Tone, I am asking you this question because you are likely the Wikipedian with the most experience editing and researching WHS. I am currently making a Lebanese WHS list, on my User:Easternsahara/sandbox2. However, there are many sites on the [https://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/?action=listtentative&state=lb&order=states tentative lists] which are written in French. Should I translate the title into English or leave it in French? For example, here is [https://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/6436/ L'ancienne ville de Tripoli], should I translate this page's title, or keep it the same? Easternsahara (talk) 13:15, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

:Hi, happy to help! I've had such cases often. Initially I thought I should keep it in French but now I am translating them, and keeping the source in the reference with the original French wording. Makes more sense to the reader. And often links already exists so you don't have to struggle much. Also, be bold and start editing directly in the article ;) Tone 20:31, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

::Thanks Tone, I'll keep that in mind. Easternsahara (talk) 23:15, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

::Hey Tone I have another question. I was trying to add all of the WHS sites in Lebanon onto the map, but when i created the coded, which you can see both on the page and below, it does not show all of the sites. I have checked other featured lists about WHS with these maps, and they seem to be the same. Could you tell me what I am doing wrong.

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of World Heritage Sites in the United Kingdom, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Durham.

Hey Tone, I saw your work at List of World Heritage Sites in Bolivia and it looks complete. Considering that you currently only have one submission for FLC, could you also submit this one? Thanks! Easternsahara (talk) 18:06, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

:The standard procedure is that the first nomination has to see some support, then the second one can be added. Let's give it a couple of days. But deal, Bolivia is next ;) Tone 18:39, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
