Scheduled Monuments in Somerset edit
... that the more than 670 scheduled monuments in the ceremonial county of Somerset range in age from the neolithic to World War II?

- Comment: No single reference can encompass the facts in the hook but all are cited in the article. This article is now GA. Should I change the nomination type from "New" to GA" or can you have both?— Rod talk 08:15, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that there are over 670 scheduled monuments in the ceremonial county of Somerset, which range in age from the neolithic to World War II?— Rod talk 19:24, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
This article is long enough and qualifies for DYK both as a new article and as a newly-promoted GA. The different hook facts are all cited except for the fact that there are more than 670 scheduled monuments in the ceremonial county. I detected no policy issues and QPQ has been done. (A minor point, for an article only three weeks old, how did you access all those sources in 2007, 2009 etc?) Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:41, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks - I don't know how to add a single link for the source of the number but if you go to the National Heritage list for England and select "advanced search".. then click on "location" & select the relevant district/unitary authority, then click on "Heritage Category" & put a tick next to "Scheduling" & then click "Search" it will give a list of all entries and says displaying XX of XX results - which tells you the number of Scheduled Monuments in the district. As far as using references from years ago I recycled references I had added when I wrote the proginal articles about the specific sites - I did however check that they still work.— Rod talk 07:14, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
- I did what you suggested and I got "displaying 611 of 611 results". It might be best to simply use ALT2 instead
- ALT2 ... that scheduled monuments in the ceremonial county of Somerset range in age from neolithic to World War II? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:08, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
- I'm happy to go with ALT2, however the 611 figure is the administrative county of Somerset, not the ceremonial county (as used on wp) which includes the unitary authorities of Bath and North East Somerset and North Somerset. To get the figures for each district you have to use the District/Unitary Authority/Borough box rather than county. The reason I don't give a specific figure is that some of the sites straddle a boundary between districts & therefore could be double counted. So yes go with ALT2.— Rod talk 10:30, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
Ready to go with ALT2 (an abbreviation of the original hook). Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:40, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
