Nominator(s): Peter I. Vardy (talk) 10:35, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because it is a companion to the recently promoted Grade I listed churches in Greater Manchester. Its format is similar, and the text has been copyedited. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 10:35, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 18:57, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comments (all picky...)
  • "This is a complete list ..." I know it's not the first sentence, (it's the third) but I'm still not keen on this phrasing... sorry.
    • Not sure if it's the wording, or the position of the sentence. Assuming it's the latter, I've moved it to the end of the first paragraph. I included it to demonstrate that the "comprehensive" criterion for an FL was met. Or would you prefer it to be phrased differently? --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 15:03, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "are in Gothic style" perhaps a personal pref, but "are Gothic in style" would seem better to me.
    • It might seem to read better for "Gothic", but IMO it would not do for all styles; it is Decorated in style, or Perpendicular in style, etc. would read oddly. So maybe for consistency, it's best as it is. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 15:03, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Liverpool is overlinked in the lead.
  • "Almost all the ..." -> "Most of the..."?
  • I've possibly asked this before, but why is Chapel in Lady Chapel capitalised?
    • It depends I guess on whether you recognise this as a title (like Buckingham Palace, or the John Smith Chapel), or a description (like south chapel) with the word "Lady" capitalised in reverence to Mary. But the article on Lady chapel uses a lower case "c", so I've changed it for consistency across articles. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 15:03, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • What's a mortuary chapel and why haven't we got an article on it?!
    • It has two meanings: a small chapel in a cemetery where bodies are kept prior to burial; or a chapel in or associated with a church used for burials of the members of a (usually wealthy) family. The word mortuary redirects to morgue mainly in the context of a hospital, etc. so I've not linked it. Rather I've added a footnote giving a definition of the term in the context of the list. Why no article? Not for me to say. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 15:03, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "This is a Roman Catholic Church " -> "This is a Roman Catholic church "?

  • Comment Thanks for the trouble you've taken (again) over the review. Not sure if you will be happy with all my responses. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 15:03, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – By the Liverpool Cathedral reference in the lead, there's an extra space inside "20th century" that should be fixed. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:25, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
