Grade I listed buildings in Greater Manchester edit

I want to get a more thorough review by peer review for a list that I want to nominate at FLC sometime soon. All ideas welcome. Rt . 21:50, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DoneWhy are the table headers in a blueish colour?
- Y - Changed to black (#000000) in line with other lists with similar tables. Rt . 19:10, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
DoneIs there a particular reason why the former Bank of England is not linked?
- N - The article doesn't exist. Perhaps a creation needed? Rt. 19:10, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Nothing wrong with it being a redlink if it doesn't yet exist but is notable enough for an article. Oldelpaso (talk) 23:07, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The location column does not give much insight to someone unfamiliar with the city. Perhaps a map indicating the location of each building would be a useful addition.
In spite of Manchester's medieval history - not sure about this phrase. It provokes the question "what medieval history, and why is it important"?
This may be due to my personal preferences for this type of article, but I think a longer prose section would be beneficial. Something like a paragraph which briefly explains what each building is, so the reader does not have to go to each building's article to find out.
- How would that be written? It would be hard to write about everything, but at the same time, trying to prevent it from being too long. Rt. 19:12, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Going completely off the top of my head here, but a starter might be "The oldest listed building in the city is Manchester Cathedral. Completed in 1421, it is one of three Grade I listed religious buildings in Manchester..." Presumably construction of the commercial buildings in the list (Liverpool Rd Station, former Bank of England) coincided with a period of prosperity. In essence, the themes from the second paragraph could be integrated with information about some of the items in the list. As I say, this may be a matter of personal taste, I like list articles with meaty prose sections.
  - Another thing I've noticed - none of the buildings in the list are Edwardian seeing as the most recent is 1899. Oldelpaso (talk) 23:07, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A script has been used to generate a semi-automated review of the article for issues relating to grammar and house style. If you would find such a review helpful, please click here. Thanks, APR _t 01:24, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
