Skara Brae is not a site by itself - it's one part of a grouping called Heart of Neolithic Orkney wityh Maes Howe and others. -- JBellis 10:47, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
Here's the list from the UNESCO website:
I guess we should agree on a common way to deal with the various problems here. Some sites warrant their own entry which they don't have yet (Liv-MMC), other seem to be better off kept separate. I'm also looking into creating an infobox UNESCO Heritage Sites. Any input is welcome. ~ trialsanderrors 00:28, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Since each site has its own page, and it looks like this has been forgotten, I took the liberty of redoing the list, adding the "Heart of Neolithic Orkney" tag with the specific sites in parenthesis. It seems likely given the variety of sites included that anyone interested would want to view the individual articles. I would further suggest that this approach should be taken with the other World Heritage lists, and then they could all be properly alphabetised for ease of reading.

This banner is not the flag of Northern Ireland see: WP:Flagcruft.-- padraig 15:25, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
It matters a lot, this is an encyclopedia and should reflect fact, the Ulster Banner is not the flag of NI. What about a neutral alternative.-- Vintagekits 18:06, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
In November 1973 the College of Arms advised that it would be improper to use the Northern Ireland Coat of Arms, on which the Ulster Banner is based, after the Northern Ireland Constitution Act 1973 had been passed. This did not apply to the actual flag. See here for currency. 90.240.74.203 18:29, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Biofoundationsoflanguage, you shouldnt make flase citations in your edit summaries, the consensus here is to not use the Ulster banner. The Ulster banner is not in use anywhere else on wikipedia to represent present day N Ireland, if you switch it back you should be reported for edit warring. Fennessy 17:17, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

This is getting silly. Padraig, if I file a formal request for mediation, will you take part? Biofoundationsoflanguage has already indicated that (s)he will. — ras52 12:25, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Delete the word "generic" in the first line, which will convert this template from the old and deprecated {{ Navbox generic}} form to the new standard {{ Navbox}} form. Thanks, -- CapitalR 19:23, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

This template entitled World Heritage Sites in the United Kingdom includes heritage sites that are not in the United Kingdom, but are in Overseas territories. I propose to either rename the template to World Heritage Sites in the United Kingdom and in Overseas territories or to remove the overseas territories. Or does anyone have any other suggestions? -- Bardcom ( talk) 18:56, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Overseas territories are in the United Kingdom, just not in England, Scotland, Ulster or Wales. Christopedia ( talk) 04:02, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
Overseas territories ARE in the United Kingdom just not as part of either England, Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales and not (yet) represented in the British parliament due to most either having considerable autonomy or no indigenous inhabitants. Overseas territories citizens are UK citizens. Only the Crown Dependencies that fall under British sovereignty are not in the UK, but overseas territories (formerly colonies) have always been recognised as part of the British state.

Is there a reason that a selection of individual sites in this WHS are listed in brackets after the main site? Neolithic Orkney is the main one, but there's also Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd. This seems overkill to me, and if it were repeated for all WHSs with smaller sites, the infobox would be very big indeed. Why Maeshowe but not Ness of Brodgar? How about listing all of the sites in Stonehenge, Avebury and Associated Sites or the individual buildings in Bath? I really think this list should just comprise the actual WHS sites listed by Unesco and not individual monuments within them. Ranger Steve ( talk) 13:38, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
