hi rexford,
let me copy as well alex wagner on the mail, who is of great help for
some european chapters when creating the list(s). he suggested that
http://www.ghanamuseums.org/ would be responsible for the lists in
ghana. maybe its the easiest to just copy the monuments off this
website onto:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghana%E2%80%99s_material_cultural_heritage
i am not sure about the best template to use, for switzerland it looks like:
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Inventory_of_Cultural_Property_of_National_and_Regional_Significance
* and especially one with a small number of monuments:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cultural_property_of_national_significance_in_Switzerland:_Appenzell_Ausserrhoden
alex mentioned some german templates as well:
* http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_denkmalgesch%C3%BCtzten_Objekte_in_St._P%C3%B6lten-Spratzern
this is categorized and leads to:
* http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kategorie:Liste_(Kulturdenkmale_in_Nieder%C3%B6sterreich)
* and then for the country of austria:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kategorie:Liste_(Kulturdenkmale_in_%C3%96sterreich)
alex, maybe you could give a hint how to do this on en.wp? this
categorization is overkill imo for the first year, we should look to
get the 20-30 monuments from the ghanamuseums website onto one page
and thats it. what you think?
