Don't know that many of the sites, so maybe there are some hidden treasures? The ones I know are mostly mhew.
Great sites:
Padova Urbs Picta - Italy => Top Missing. no doubt.
Chankillo - Peru => Should be great too.
OK sites:
Great Spas of Europe - Austria, Belgium, Czechia, France, Germany, Italy, UK => Too many countries. Should have been limited to way less countries and sites.
Mhew sites:
Site of the Retiro and the Prado in Madrid - Spain => I like Madrid, but don't see this is WHS material. And the suburbs are already dotted with WHS.
Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie (extension) - Netherlands => Existing site not really great. Doubting extending it will help much.
Le phare de Cordouan - France => Reviews where enthusiastic.
Frontiers of the Roman Empire - Danube Limes - Austria, Germany, Hungary, Slovakia => Hadrians and Antoines Wall already cover this.
Fortress of Spinalonga - Greece => Rhodes, Corfu, ... Why any additional ones?
Classical Karst - Slovenia => Not sure what the OUV should be ehre.
Colonies of Benevolence - NL, Belgium => Feels like each and every local movement gets a WHS. I am not sure why this has global significance.
