Grade II* listed buildings in Mendip edit

Featured list candidates/Grade II* listed buildings in Mendip/archive1

Nominator(s): — Rod ^talk 13:17, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Another in a series on listed buildings in Somerset. It uses the same layout as Grade II* listed buildings in North Somerset, Grade II* listed buildings in Sedgemoor, Grade II* listed buildings in West Somerset and Grade II* listed buildings in Taunton Deane. I have tried to take into account comments made during those nominations, but if I have missed any or you spot anything else please let me know.— Rod ^talk 13:17, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

" It has a population of approximately 11,000..." I would caveat this with an "as of".

Added 2014 & new ref.— Rod ^talk 11:49, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"...Act 1990[3] rests..." nasty ref placement, and the rest of that sentence has nothing citing it.

Moved to end of sentence.— Rod ^talk 11:49, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"some of which are Norman. Many of the rest are urban" - in this context "the rest" could be churches or other listed buildings, so be clear.

Added "of the buildings".— Rod ^talk 11:49, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"the large and powerful" is this necessary?

Removed - I think I was trying to say they owned lots of land & controlled trade.— Rod ^talk 11:49, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"1235-1252" en-dash. There are a few others.

Ahhhh - as you know I always have problems with these. I have tried to fix but may have missed some.— Rod ^talk 11:49, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Rib's "mid 15th century" sorts before the "Unidentified monument"'s "15th century".

This was a problem where I had made an error with the formatting of the "sort" template - hopefully fixed.— Rod ^talk 11:49, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise looks good. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:20, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support my concerns addressed. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:52, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from BeatlesLedTV

"Ref." → "Ref(s)" (1 or 2 locations have 2 refs)
Should the entry col be sortable? I personally feel like it shouldn't but if that's how you're other lists were then leave it.

Honestly that's all I got. Great job! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 15:53, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

These are both set by Template:English Heritage listed building header and is used on all the other similar lists, not just the Grade II* one I listed above, but all of the sub lists of Grade I listed buildings in Somerset which are all FA + all those for other counties. I think the Ref. stands for Reference or References and someone could want to sort by Historic England entry number.— Rod ^talk 17:52, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Dudley

Ref 2 says the population is 110,844, not 11,000!

Ooops - my typo - changed to approximately 110,000 (as it is an estimate).— Rod ^talk 21:49, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I do not like the arrangement of para 3. You cover churches, then secular buildings, then "buildings are associated with the church", which seems an odd way to describe two churches and a former church.

I have changed the order but by "buildings associated with the church I meant tithe barns, Bishops winter palaces, gatehouses, vicarages, churchyard crosses & almshouses run by the church etc.— Rod ^talk 21:49, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Conservative Club is described by the source as c. 1453, not 1453.

Thanks - changed.— Rod ^talk 21:49, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Another first rate list. Dudley Miles (talk) 21:33, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Dudley Miles (talk) 21:59, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"It had a population of approximately 110,000 in 2014.[2[[1]" Ref numbers should be in order. Honestly such a trivial criticism I feel fine just going straight to Support. Courcelles (talk) 20:32, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Closing note: This candidate has been promoted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FLC/ar, and leave the {{featured list candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:09, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
