[edit] Encyclopedic

Cultural heritage is an important topic, and I believe that it is possible to expand this article by including examples of the heritages of different countries. Does anyone have any other suggestions to save this article from going to Wiktionary? -Danaman5 21:57, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

If we're going to expand the article beyond being a definition, I am worried about limiting cultural heritage to something that nations have, as opposed to cities, states, ethnic groups, etc. Also, the definition is very narrow in what makes up cultural heritage, in this case physical items "worthy of preservation for the future". Jazz is part of the cultural heritage of New Orleans, but jazz does exist and cannot be preserved the same way a monument or a Monet can. -Acjelen 23:46, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
I think that the article Historic preservation has many of the elements that I am thinking of. This article doesn't have to be expanded, then, but I still believe that it should stay on Wikipedia. --Danaman5 20:33, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] museum heritage userbox

As a museum and heritage worker in providing learning I belong to various networks that share knowledge, thereby not re-inventing the wheel. I am not saying that this needs to be a result of this 'link' but I have created a user box for professionals in the museum - heritage field. It will add a category to the page. User:Edmund Patrick/Userboxes/Museum will take you there. --Edmund Patrick 08:38, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
