I'm not really up on the virtues of Ardabil, but that would be the only inclusion I wouldn't fully support. But if others with better knowledge are convinced then I'm happy to go along.

I'm going to make a late plea for the Mineret of Jam. I know it is similar to Qutb Minar, but there is something so incredibly powerful about Jam and its remote and fragile nature. I would put it comfortably in my top 200 so would like to see it get on the ballot paper.

After hearing more selections and reasons, I thought I would make my selections.

Full Agreement with previous Posts

Selimiye Mosque (already counted)
Ardabil
Meidan Emam, Esfahan

In addition:
Qutb Minar and its Monuments, Delhi - "masterpiece of Indo-Muslim art"

Well we haven't decided the "nature" of any voting yet but my "understanding" was that it would be a separate exercise albeit INFORMED by this first one which has, hopefully, extended the knowledge of all of us about the comparative value of WHS - many of which, I for one, was less well informed about when this exercise first started than I am now (even if my knowledge of some is still less than perhaps it should be)! The problem with just a straight vote would have been that people would inevitably vote for the sites they knew. But I would still hope that individuals could buck the trend if they wanted to!!

One possibility is that we would all be presented with the full list in 3 categories as determined in this "community exercise" from which to vote for the top 200 - Yes, Maybe and No. We could then record our individual views (if the previuos "Top 50 missing" is a basis we should get votes from many who didn't take part in this original exercise) - following the community conclusions or not. That way some "maybe" might get raised whilst some "Yes" might get downgraded! And possibly even some from "no" moved up to top??

I will support Minaret of Jam.

Yes, that's the plan. See also this overview that I have been building over the past weeks: http://www.worldheritagesite.org/startels/allbyrank.php

Voting will be done AFTER we have finished going through all categories.
I will make a larger appeal then among the members too.
Voting is by a checklist, just as with the regular WHS count.

This one needs a new summary.

OK - I can summarize the results for this one, too. We had ten members voting in this section. Once again, I am counting Solivagant's maybe as a .5 vote. I am highlighting in bold the choices from 6-10 members (we could go 7-10, but there was pretty strong feeling for Selimiye Mosque and Kairouan), and italicizing the choices from 2-5 members. Here are the results:

Ardabil -- shrine of a prominent Sufi master; represents Sufism (5 votes)
Bagerhat
Divrigi -- Anatolian "Seljuk" mosque and hospital with fine carvings (2.5 votes)
Kairouan -- considered the fourth holiest city in Islam, and an important center of learning in North Africa in the 9th century (6 votes)
Masjed-e Jâme'
Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi -- resting place for one of the most prominent religious figures in the history of Sufism (2 votes)
Meidan Emam, Esfahan -- former royal square at the heart of a former capital of the Persian empire; representative Shia site with Safavid architecture (8 votes)
Minaret of Jam -- outstanding example of Islamic architecture in central Asia; beautiful brick and tile work (4 votes)
Qutb Minar -- example of Mughal architecture and symbol of Islam in India, tallest brick minaret in the world (7 votes)
Selimiye Mosque -- 16th century masterpiece of the architect Sinan, and one of the highest achievements of Islamic architecture (6 votes)
Soltaniyeh -- represents important stages in Islamic architecture for its dome/cupola (3 votes)

Incidentally, I preferred Minaret of Jam to Qutb Minar when looking at all the pictures I could find online of the two minarets, but I understand tastes differ. I appreciate the additional votes for Jam, though!

I'll bring these over to the main page at http://www.worldheritagesite.org/allbyrank.php
