Reading the list, I really liked the Versailles choice. It was, and still is, a significant project and had a definitive legacy for French political influence. I am now surprised that it hasn't been in the game before.

I'd like to see tempory cultural wonders like the Olympics, Commonwealth Games, Highland Games etc and all the little holidays various nations have every year. Something which you'd build over time and then you'd get a little cheer and fireworks with when completed. And a ingame district to represent it whilst it's completed.
(I know now it is more of a monument than a gate (city has grown and walls are gone), but it was a Gate.
Ishtar gates have also a bigger possibility to be represented not just as a gate, as you can add the full ceremonial way (leading to the city). IMHO, they have not been represented in Civ yet, as they are replaced by the Gardens, which is a common mistake (the Hanging Gardens are not one of the 7 wonders of the ancient World, the actual babilonian wonder is the Wall and Ishtar Gates - or, depending on where you read it, the full city of Babylon).
It is tough to decide only 5. On the other hand for me others are easy to discard as - despite being a nice building - do not seem to have much historical significance or specific relevance over other buildings of the same tyipe (i.e CN tower, Neuschwanstein,...) However, some argument could be made they are indeed relevant by some ones who kown more about them.
Don‘t these threads usually get moved to Ideas & Suggestions pretty fast?
It‘s interesting that Macchu Picchu, which I am expecting them to implement this time in a more creative way (see: the Great Wall of China) and Borobodur (aren‘t there sufficient amount of religious wonders already?) are leading the vote. The rest is quite evenly distributed which seems normal for such a big variety and only 5 votes (why not 6 to bring it up to the clear number of 50? )
Personally, I‘d rather want a few more Industrial or more moden wonders. And my other vote was for the ‚Gotthard Tunnel‘ making 1-2 mountain tiles passable for land units and making your trade routes a little bit better.

With Rise and Fall introducing amber as a resource I'd like to see a Mod wonder based on Jurassic Park. like have it require a bunch of amber and give a science and culture boost.
On that note, I have no idea how to mod that for myself so feel free to take that idea if you want.
Hoover Dam. I'm partial to Hoover Dam since it's my only "local" wonder nearby my house. Hasn't been seen since Civ2 I believe, not sure if Civ3 had it. They tend to go with 3 Gorges Dam these days, which you didn't include on your poll.
I am going completely patriotic here and propose the Atomium. One of the most bizarre yet iconic landmarks that I can think of and would be a decent addition to the franchise, I think.
I just see King's Landing. Maybe it's just me.
Anyway I voted for the obvious Macchu Picchu and Statue of Zeus which are actual wonders missing.
Notre Dame, the Great Mosque of Djenne, and the Globe Theater also.
