I am nominating List of Grade I listed buildings in Taunton Deane as a featured list because I feel it meets all the FL criteria with suitable references and supporting pictures. It follows the format of the recently promoted List of Grade I listed buildings in West Somerset. — Rod talk 07:55, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Support on the prose—Rodw writes nicely. Great pics (I didn't check their status, and I presume it's OK). Just a small point: I'd be inclined to make the pop. and area figures less precise. In six months' time, the pop of 100,300 might well be 101,050. And fractions of a square km seem too fiddly for the clutter. I'd just round to thousands of people and whole sq. km or m. But it's no big deal. Comma after "House", end of lead. Comma after "periods" in Note 1. The longer the sentence, the fewer the existing commas, and the more formal the register, the more likely an optional comma is used (that's my opinion only). No. 18 could have a little stub written to remove the onlly red in that neat table, but you don't have to, of course. Tony (talk) 16:41, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

CommentNow Support. Another list of exceptional quality by Rodw, it's great to see how carefully you're covering all the county. Before supporting, I'd only like you to clarify me a small detail: English Heritage speaks of 5 Grade I listed buildings in Taunton; instead, No 18, Fore Street, Taunton is qualified as Grade II*[2]. Have you got another source which puts it differently? And if yes, why do you feel it's more reliable than IoE or Listed Buildings Online?--Aldux (talk) 14:16, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Response Thank you for your comments. In the process of checking the accuracy of this list I contacted Taunton Deane Councils Building Conservation Officer who is involved in any planning applications which affect listed buildings. He kindly gave me an updated list. No 18, Fore Street, Taunton was upgraded to I in 1982 but the Images of England (IoE) site has it wrongly classified. I have added a note explaining and a reference to the entry for the building on the Somerset Historic Environment Record (SHER) which has this correctly. I have kept the IoE reference as this includes a picture which the SHER one does not. In the course of this helpful email discussion we also found that Cutley Farmhouse in Kingston St Mary is listed on IoE as Grade I when in fact it is Grade II. The councils Building Conservation Officer has promised to pass on this error to English Heritage. I hope this answers your query if not I can forward the list sent by the council as an email.— Rod talk 14:51, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
