The latest in a series of lists of Grade II* listed buildings in Somerset following the format of Grade II* listed buildings in Taunton Deane, Grade II* listed buildings in Sedgemoor and Grade II* listed buildings in North Somerset. I believe it meets the criteria but would welcome any comments.— Rod talk 09:04, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Names that start with "The, A, An, etc." are sorted by the second word. Fix these that apply.
  • I have attempted to fix these (generally by removing "The") can you check I've got them all?— Rod talk 16:16, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You have to place them in alphabetical order in the table. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 16:29, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I was thinking about sort order - I have now moved a few around.— Rod talk 17:06, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the completed col, you have one instance of "1877–1880" while every other one is like "1854–6". Change one or the rest for consistency.
  • Standardised on "1877-80" format in the same way others in the series are formatted.

That's all I got right now. Might be more to come. Great job! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 15:38, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks.— Rod talk 16:16, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • You have ref [2] awkwardly planted mid-sentence and then no ref for the rest of the sentence.
  • I would also explicitly reference the second and third sentences of the second lead para.
  • I'd re-factor the middle para of the lead, have one on the area and its size, and one on the population and its larger population centres.
  • "and chapels some" comma after chapels.
  • Comma added.— Rod talk 20:55, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Does everyone know what a "village cross" is?
  • Sorry I missed this one. There are lots of village crosses in this neck of the woods, but we don't really have a suitable article. Market cross is about some of the bigger versions, although the "site for trading" is about right. My problem is finding RS to support a sentence in the lead to explain what they are.— Rod talk 08:32, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • " Exmoor packhorse " borderline WP:SEAOFBLUE for me, I thought that was going to be a type of pony from Exmoor, not two links, one to Exmoor and the other to a type of bridge.
  • I've had a go at rewording this but other suggestions welcome.— Rod talk 20:55, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • 1818–23 - space isn't a premium in this col so you can apply MOS:DATERANGE here.
  • OK formatted as 1818-1823.— Rod talk 20:55, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Mid-18th" but "Late 17th", I'm no expert but could you explain the discrepancy in hyphenation?
  • I'm not an expert on hyphens - the explanation is probably my poor proof reading.— Rod talk 20:55, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's all I have right now. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:21, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rodw all good bar the "village cross" question. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:15, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Dudley

  • Maybe say Somerset is in west of England.
  • "The district of West Somerset covers a largely rural area covering 740 square kilometres" 1. I don't think you need "The district of", which is in the first paragraph and in the next sentence. 2. Repetition of "cover".
  • I've revised as suggested.— Rod talk 18:35, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am not clear what a village cross is. The Historic England entry on Congresbury village cross at [2] has a discussion on standing crosses, and Standing cross on Wikipedia redirects to High cross, but is a village cross a particular type of standing cross or is it just one located in a village (outside the churchyard)?
  • Further to the comment by TRM above, I'm not quite sure what to do about this. High Cross is largely about celtic decorated crosses, whereas Somerset village crosses are generally plain and in many cases where where a small market or individual trading could take place (but I can't find RS to support this). Yes they are outside of churchyards (otherwise would be labelled as "Churchyard Cross"), but even those in churchyards were sometimes used as the site of trading.— Rod talk 18:35, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • As there are several churchyard crosses and only one vilage cross (unless I have missed others) you could just delete "and village" Dudley Miles (talk) 19:14, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks. There are two "village crosses" (one in Crowcombe & one Stogursey) in this list, and others in other lists I am working on, so I might have to create an article about them.— Rod talk 19:19, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The type for "Chantry" is given as house, but surely it was designated for its features as a former chantry chapel, just as the next entry is listed as a country house, even though it is now a hotel.
  • Changed to Chantry.— Rod talk 18:35, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I now run the bot at [3] to archive all the links on FLCs.
  • Unfortunately that tool doesn't work on links within the EH template which makes up the table
  • As usual a first rate list with a few minor points. Dudley Miles (talk) 10:21, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sources check out fine for me on a spot-check, this is good to go. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:26, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agreed, promoting. --PresN 16:24, 11 December 2017 (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.
