Angkor Wat 25 (24 + 1) An impressive wonder that deserves better than the treatment it got in Civ V.
Borobudur 24
Great Mosque of Djenné 8
Himeji Castle 17 (20 - 3) The choices are getting narrowed down a lot, and I haven't seen any arguments to convince me that this belongs as high as the 5th place it's currently in.
Machu Picchu 6
Notre-Dame 28
Shwedagon Paya 14
Statue of Zeus 16
Taj Mahal 33
Temple of Artemis 12
Versailles 5
 
Angkor Wat 25
Borobudur 24+1=25 - I want both Angkor Wat and Borobudur on same level, and same level means same points.
Great Mosque of Djenné 8
Himeji Castle 17
Machu Picchu 6-3=3 - It should go before Versailles.
Notre-Dame 28
Shwedagon Paya 14
Statue of Zeus 16
Taj Mahal 33
Temple of Artemis 12
Versailles 5
 
Angkor Wat 25
Borobudur 25
Great Mosque of Djenné 8
Himeji Castle 17
Machu Picchu 3 + 1 = 4 (No thank you. This is a far more unique wonder than Versailles, and adds much needed non-European cultural flavor, in addition to its virtue of being a wonder near a mountain).
Notre-Dame 28
Shwedagon Paya 14
Statue of Zeus 16
Taj Mahal 33
Temple of Artemis 12
Versailles 5 - 3 = 2 (Dull compared to the rest of the wonders remaining.)
 
Angkor Wat 25
Borobudur 25
Great Mosque of Djenné 8
Himeji Castle 17 + 1 = 18 I can not let the only Japanese wonder on the list fall so fast. This is an impressive example of Eastern castles.
Machu Picchu 4
Notre-Dame 28
Shwedagon Paya 14
Statue of Zeus 16
Taj Mahal 33
Temple of Artemis 12
Versailles 2 - 3 = -1 Eliminated. Then Versailles falls before than Machu Picchu. I agree with Morningcalm, Machu Picchu is more necessary than Versailles and some others wonders with more score on the list.
 
Angkor Wat 25
Borobudur 25
Great Mosque of Djenné 8
Himeji Castle 18
Machu Picchu 4
Notre-Dame 28
Shwedagon Paya 15 (14 + 1) -- Doesn't deserve to be lower than the Statue of Zeus.
Statue of Zeus 16
Taj Mahal 33
Temple of Artemis 9 (12 - 3) -- If we don't need one of the most politically important buildings in Europe, then we don't need another bland Greek temple.
 
Angkor Wat 26 (25+1) Definitely top 3 material.
Borobudur 25
Great Mosque of Djenné 8
Himeji Castle 18
Machu Picchu 4
Notre-Dame 28
Shwedagon Paya 15
Statue of Zeus 13 (16-3) I still don't think that this fits civ VI all too well. Make it a special great work and not a tile sized statue when it was 'just' 13m tall and standing inside a building instead of in the open.
Taj Mahal 33
Temple of Artemis 9
 
Angkor Wat 26
Borobudur 25
Great Mosque of Djenné 8
Himeji Castle 18
Machu Picchu 4-3=1 I like Machu Picchu, but 10th place is a good place for it.
Notre-Dame 28
Shwedagon Paya 15+1=16 stunning and Beautiful
Statue of Zeus 13
Taj Mahal 33
Temple of Artemis 9
 
Remarks (with no vote due to 24 hour rule):

Angkor Wat 26
Borobudur 25
Great Mosque of Djenné 8
Himeji Castle 18
Machu Picchu 1 Great, now there's no point upvoting this magnificent tourist hotspot. Sigh. It had a good run I guess.
Notre-Dame 28 (Having been to Notre Dame, I have to say that its exterior is far superior to its interior in visual delight, and while an amazing structure, it is far too similar to numerous other Gothic cathedrals, to the point where, for example, people were confused as to which cathedral the Franks' wonder in Age of Empires II was meant to represent.)
Shwedagon Paya 16 (Agreed, but we do have plenty of religious wonders in the game already.)
Statue of Zeus 13
Taj Mahal 33
Temple of Artemis 9 (One of the Seven Wonders, and we could use some more ancient wonders from that list. That the Temple no longer remains extant doesn't meant we should exclude it. Numerous amazing wonders, like the Arch of Ctesiphon, are in a ruined state, but we know full well that they were glorious. IMO the Temple of Artemis should replace the Parthenon in Civ VI since the Temple was more sizeable and respected in ancient times than the Parthenon, and the Ephesian view of Artemis is interesting and novel. Also, the Temple had columns decorated with carved reliefs and had legends surrounding its founding in association with the Amazons. So if you've seen Wonder Woman and liked it, please upvote this wonder.)

Eh, you know that only one vote per 24 hours is allowed, do you?
 
Angkor Wat 26
Borobudur 25
Great Mosque of Djenné 8-3=5 Can/t downvote anything else...
Himeji Castle 18
Machu Picchu 1
Notre-Dame 28
Shwedagon Paya 16
Statue of Zeus 13
Taj Mahal 33
Temple of Artemis 9+1=10 This vote is for Wonder Woman!
 
Angkor Wat 26
Borobudur 25
Great Mosque of Djenné 5
Himeji Castle 18+1=19 - Upvote for such beautiful Japanese wonder.
Machu Picchu 1-3=-2 (ELIMINATED) - Finally killed it. I just don't care about Incas much.
Notre-Dame 28
Shwedagon Paya 16
Statue of Zeus 13
Taj Mahal 33
Temple of Artemis 10
 
Angkor Wat 26
Borobudur 25
Great Mosque of Djenné 5 - 3 = 2 I really want it in the game, but choices should be made.
Himeji Castle 19 + 1 = 20 The only one that I can give a positive vote now, since Angkor Wat, Borobudur, Notre-Dame and Taj Mahal are already well positioned in the score, and I have no intention of assigning positive votes to the others. I'll try to take this up
Notre-Dame 28
Shwedagon Paya 16
Statue of Zeus 13
Taj Mahal 33
Temple of Artemis 10
 
Angkor Wat 26
Borobudur 25
Great Mosque of Djenné 2
Himeji Castle 20
Notre-Dame 28
Shwedagon Paya 16
Statue of Zeus 10 (13 - 3) This would be hard to do justice to in-game, since the statue is inside a temple.
Taj Mahal 33
Temple of Artemis 11 (10 + 1) While we certainly don't need three Greek temples as world wonders, the fact that three of them are good candidates suggests we should probably have at least one. This seems like the best choice to me.
 
Angkor Wat 26
Borobudur 25
Great Mosque of Djenné 2
Himeji Castle 20
Notre-Dame 29 (28 + 1) -- Ut supra.
Shwedagon Paya 16
Statue of Zeus 10
Taj Mahal 33
Temple of Artemis 8 (11 - 3) -- Greek architecture is so boring...
 
Angkor Wat 26
Borobudur 26 (25+1) more Indonesian wonders!
Great Mosque of Djenné 2
Himeji Castle 20
Notre-Dame 29
Shwedagon Paya 16
Statue of Zeus 10
Taj Mahal 33
Temple of Artemis 5 (8-3) The Parthenon was the way better choice...
 
Angkor Wat 26
Borobudur 26
Great Mosque of Djenné 2-3=-1 ELIMINATED, Good looking structure, but the rest are more impressive
Himeji Castle 20
Notre-Dame 29
Shwedagon Paya 16=1=17 Same as last time.
Statue of Zeus 10
Taj Mahal 33
Temple of Artemis 5 (8-3)
 
Angkor Wat 26
Borobudur 26
Himeji Castle 20
Notre-Dame 29 - 3 = 26 (This cathedral need not be upvoted this high, and it has been in so many Civ games as to be rote and cliche like Napoleon or Gandhi. The Notre Dame's facade is nice, I get it, but the structure itself is very similar to numerous other Gothic cathedrals, including those in France, and I find the interior of each cathedral to be rather dull.)
Shwedagon Paya 17
Statue of Zeus 10
Taj Mahal 33
Temple of Artemis 5 + 1 = 6 (The Parthenon is not currently in-game, was avowedly inferior by ancient standards, and the Temple of Artemis has cooler lore and art behind it, in addition to being one of the Seven Wonders, which the Parthenon never was.

Also: FOR WONDER WOMAN! *insert Wonder Woman theme music by Hans Zimmer here, in a way totally compliant with copyright law*)
 
Angkor Wat 26
Borobudur 26
Himeji Castle 17 (20-3) again just tactics
Notre-Dame 26
Shwedagon Paya 17
Statue of Zeus 10
Taj Mahal 33
Temple of Artemis 7 (6+1) Wonder Woman:lol:
