MY RATING SYSTEM 😅
0.5/5.0: A site not worth a visit at all
1.0/5.0: Definite disapproval for WHS status (no OUV in my opinion), but a good experience for visiting
1.5/5.0: Equivocal disapproval for WHS status – I can see the argument for OUV
2.0/5.0: Below-average WHS, but deserving nonetheless (clear OUV demonstrated, in my opinion)
2.5/5.0: What I consider the standard for WHS
3.0/5.0: Above-average WHS
3.5/5.0: What I consider wonders of the world
4.0-4.5/5.0: Higher-tier wonders
5.0/5.0: A truly complete, authentic, and top-tier WHS
*Rankings drop with severe threats to integrity and authenticity of sites, especially when these negatively affect my visiting experience.
