Scheduled Ancient Monuments in Coventry[edit]

This follows the success of Grade I listed buildings in Coventry. Some things are a little different—for example, the images are down the side rather than in the table because there are fewer of them and ancient monuments are less photogenic (several are now just patches of grass), but the two lists are very similar. Also, note the lack of "list of", as "schedule" and "list" in this context are synonymous, so the prefix would be redundant in my opinion. As always, comments and suggestions are welcome.

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 18:58, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
  • Picky, and probably personal, but I'd prefer "There are ten..." rather than "There are 10..."
  • Agree, done.
  • Is there not an image for each monument we could use in the table?
    • No. Only of the ones that already have images down the right-hand side. Many of the rest are difficult or not worth photographing—for example Allesley castle is a mound of earth and the two moated sites aren't much more than patches of grass (one with concrete over it).

  • What's the default sorting order for this table?
  • I would link crenellated (only because I had to look it up!)...
  • Linked
  • Linked
  • Could you put "Thomas Broke" into context?
    • As far as I can work out, he doesn't have any notable connection with the site or the area, he was just a wealthy gentleman who purchased the site. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:54, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The "Vignoles Bridge" is a" don't think you need to repeat the name here, maybe just "A cast-iron footbridge...."
  • Done

"is now occupied by a school, and is now" no need to repeat "now".

  • Done

Done a few things as the nominator is busy. Regards.--Tomcat (7) 15:26, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks as always, TRM, for your comments; and thanks, Tom, for dealing with some of them in my absence. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:54, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support superb list, meets the criteria. NapHit (talk) 05:10, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support no concerns here. Consider archiving your references with archive.org or webcitation.org so that changes in websites don't mess up your sourcing, but that's optional. --PresN 19:06, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

  • "Like several of the other monuments in the city, the Coventry's city walls...". Don't think Conventry should have the 's in front of it here.
    • Fixed
  • Images could use alt text. Giants2008 (Talk) 19:18, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
