Grade II* listed buildings in Taunton Deane

 * Nominator(s): &mdash; Rod talk 16:39, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Following the recent promotion of Grade II* listed buildings in Sedgemoor, I think this is the next list ready for nomination. It follows the format of the sub lists of Grade I listed buildings in Somerset and Grade II* listed buildings in North Somerset. I believe it is comprehensive including images where possible, with brief information about each entry and links to its official listing documents. &mdash; Rod talk 16:39, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Comments by Dudley

 * "The district of Taunton Deane Area covers a population of approximately 100,000 in an area of 462 square kilometres (178 sq mi)." 1. Why is "Area" capitalised? 2. shows population as of 2016 as 115,500. 3. I could not see the source for the area, although I probably missed it. 4. I think that if "square kilometres" is spelled out, then sq mi should be as square miles, though that it probably a matter of taste. Maybe "Taunton Deane has an area of 462 square kilometres (178 square miles), and a population as of 2016 of 115,500."
 * I tried to fiddle with the convert template but had problems with the display and have gone with your version.&mdash; Rod talk 17:36, 4 November 2017 (UTC)


 * "More urban properties such as those in Hammet Street and The Crescent in Taunton." This is ungrammatical.
 * I've tweaked this a bit.&mdash; Rod talk 17:36, 4 November 2017 (UTC)


 * " Industrial sites are represented by Tonedale Mills in Wellington the largest woollen mill in South West England." I think there should be a comma after "Wellington">
 * Comma added.&mdash; Rod talk 17:36, 4 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Another first rate list. These points are minor. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:49, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Support. Dudley Miles (talk) 23:22, 6 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Comments from Harrias  talk
 * It's funny, I've read a number of these lists you've written and been happy with them. But when it's about the area I live in, the lead seems a bit sparse! (This isn't really an issue I don't think, just an interesting observation on perception and knowledge bias.)
 * If you wanted to expand it or have specific suggestions that would be great. I have previously had comments on similar list about the lead being longer than was needed, but always happy to consider alternatives.&mdash; Rod talk 18:49, 7 November 2017 (UTC)


 * The MOS has changed, so year spans should be YYYY–YYYY, rather than YYYY–YY. This needs changing a few times in the "Completed" column.
 * I'm not seeing this. Manual of Style/Dates and numbers says "Two-digit ending years (1881–82, but never 1881–882 or 1881–2) may be used in any of the following cases: (1) two consecutive years; (2) infoboxes and tables where space is limited (using a single format consistently in any given table column); and (3) in certain topic areas if there is a very good reason, such as matching the established convention of reliable sources." As this is in a table I think it complies as "using a single format consistently in any given table column".&mdash; Rod talk 18:49, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
 * That's a good point, I missed that bit!. Harrias  talk 19:11, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Otherwise this all looks pretty good. Harrias talk 07:41, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Support, apparently I couldn't find anything wrong with it! Harrias  talk 19:11, 7 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Support my issues resolved, and thanks for reminding me to read the other comments before commenting! Good work as always. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:05, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
