Removed criticism section template

To quote from WP:CSECTION

"In some situations the term "criticism" may be appropriate in an article or section title, for example, if there is a large body of critical material, and if independent secondary sources comment, analyze or discuss the critical material."

This is the case, there is sufficient secondary sources covering criticism of the way World Heritage listing is applied. 49.176.164.236 (talk) 21:13, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removed image gallery

There are 1199 World Heritage sites in the world as of 2024, so it is very difficult to create a comprehensive image gallery of world heritage sites.

The gallery was created by a person trying to promote their country's worldview to begin with. Although I then revised it to contain more pictures of other heritage sites around the world, people began trying to promote their own countries' heritage sites again. Therefore, I have removed the image gallery.

I apologise to anyone who may have made contributions to the gallery.
