Nominator(s): — Rod talk 16:39, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Following the recent promotion of Grade II* listed buildings in Sedgemoor, I think this is the next list ready for nomination. It follows the format of the sub lists of Grade I listed buildings in Somerset and Grade II* listed buildings in North Somerset. I believe it is comprehensive including images where possible, with brief information about each entry and links to its official listing documents. — Rod talk 16:39, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Dudley[edit]

  • "The district of Taunton Deane Area covers a population of approximately 100,000 in an area of 462 square kilometres (178 sq mi)." 1. Why is "Area" capitalised? 2. [2] shows population as of 2016 as 115,500. 3. I could not see the source for the area, although I probably missed it. 4. I think that if "square kilometres" is spelled out, then sq mi should be as square miles, though that it probably a matter of taste. Maybe "Taunton Deane has an area of 462 square kilometres (178 square miles), and a population as of 2016 of 115,500."
  • I tried to fiddle with the convert template but had problems with the display and have gone with your version.— Rod talk 17:36, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • "More urban properties such as those in Hammet Street and The Crescent in Taunton." This is ungrammatical.
  • I've tweaked this a bit.— Rod talk 17:36, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • " Industrial sites are represented by Tonedale Mills in Wellington the largest woollen mill in South West England." I think there should be a comma after "Wellington">
  • Comma added.— Rod talk 17:36, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from Harrias talk
  • It's funny, I've read a number of these lists you've written and been happy with them. But when it's about the area I live in, the lead seems a bit sparse! (This isn't really an issue I don't think, just an interesting observation on perception and knowledge bias.)
  • If you wanted to expand it or have specific suggestions that would be great. I have previously had comments on similar list about the lead being longer than was needed, but always happy to consider alternatives.— Rod talk 18:49, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The MOS has changed, so year spans should be YYYY–YYYY, rather than YYYY–YY. This needs changing a few times in the "Completed" column.
  • I'm not seeing this. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Ranges says "Two-digit ending years (1881–82, but never 1881–882 or 1881–2) may be used in any of the following cases: (1) two consecutive years; (2) infoboxes and tables where space is limited (using a single format consistently in any given table column); and (3) in certain topic areas if there is a very good reason, such as matching the established convention of reliable sources." As this is in a table I think it complies as "using a single format consistently in any given table column".— Rod talk 18:49, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's a good point, I missed that bit!. Harrias talk 19:11, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise this all looks pretty good. Harrias talk 07:41, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, apparently I couldn't find anything wrong with it! Harrias talk 19:11, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • DCMS is now DDCMS ("Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport")
  • Updated (along with lots of other listed building lists).— Rod talk 19:48, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • "centered" shouldn't that be "centred"?
  • "1788–90" MOS changed the date range rules lately so I think this should be 1788–1790.
  • See the response to Harrias above. My reading is that "Two-digit ending years (1881–82, but never 1881–882 or 1881–2) may be used in any of the following cases: (1) two consecutive years; (2) infoboxes and tables where space is limited (using a single format consistently in any given table column); and (3) in certain topic areas if there is a very good reason, such as matching the established convention of reliable sources." As this is in a table I think it complies as "using a single format consistently in any given table column".— Rod talk 19:48, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • You have "Parish Church" but yet "Cross passage house", is there a method behind the inconsistent capitalisation?
  • These were all imported from a database of English Heritage (now Historic England) and I thought I had corrected them all but trying again.— Rod talk 19:48, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • E.g. Church of St James the Great seems to be piped to a redirect back to itself...
  • I think this redirect is because the page has been moved since the list was created (generally because EH capitalised "Of" in lots of church names). I thought these were allowed but I've tried to correct them.— Rod talk 19:48, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The image for "Churchyard cross, Church of St Peter and St Paul" looks more like the church than the cross...
  • I presume this is the North Curry (as there are several "Church of St Peter and St Paul" on the list) I think this has been added through the semi-automated process and may have been my error in haste - now removed, as I can't find a suitably licenced pic.— Rod talk 19:48, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Early–Mid " -> "Early–mid "
  • Should "Carpenters Workshop" really be either "Carpenter's Workshop" or "Carpenters' Workshop"?
  • I always have to take advice on these. Changed to Carpenters' workshop.— Rod talk 19:48, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise good stuff. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:22, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support my issues resolved, and thanks for reminding me to read the other comments before commenting! Good work as always. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:05, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
