List of buildings by Charles Holden

 * Nominator(s): DavidCane (talk) 22:46, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

This list is a companion to the featured article on British architect Charles Holden and presents a comprehensive list of all of the buildings built to his designs (many of which are listed buildings) as well as the cemeteries and memorials he designed for the Imperial War Graves Commission following the First World War. The layout of the page has been influenced by Grade I listed buildings in North Somerset, although I have not included grid references for the buildings as some of the buildings are private homes and others are not precisely known.

Comments:


 * It would be nice to have some more "Notes" (ideally for all projects if possible), but if there is nothing interesting to write that's fine as well.
 * For some of the buildings on the list (the cottages and houses) there is no more information available than their location and completion date.--DavidCane (talk) 00:49, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * OK. How about the others (non-cottages, non-houses)? bamse (talk) 11:03, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Most of the important ones are described in the main Charles Holden article or in their own articles, so I think duplicating the information here is unnecessary.--DavidCane (talk) 23:54, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I think, if there is something particular about the building (special style, etc.) it would be still interesting to have it replicated here. Especially for the listed buildings, a short note on what makes them special would be good. bamse (talk) 10:36, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I have added a few more to cover the particularly interesting or noteworthy.--DavidCane (talk) 22:50, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Better/more interesting. Leaving it out of "resolved comments" in case another editor/reviewer wants to add more. bamse (talk) 10:56, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I am a bit confused, the article name says "List of buildings...", but then there are three tables of which only the first is called "Buildings". Possibly the article name should be changed.
 * It could be renamed "List of buildings, cemeteries and memorials by Charles Holden" if you think it necessary.--DavidCane (talk) 23:54, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Or something like List of works/projects (not sure about the correct jargon) by Charles Holden. bamse (talk) 10:36, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
 * "Works" would probably be best
 * Fine with me. bamse (talk) 13:38, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
 * To avoid confusing the bots, I'll do the move once the candidacy is complete.--DavidCane (talk) 22:50, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Alternatively you could ask an administrator to do the move. Either way is fine with me. I leave this comment out of "resolved comments" not to forget about it. bamse (talk) 10:56, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Tending towards support, but I'll have another look at it in a couple of days. One immediate suggestion would be to move all images of buildings into the "Buildings" section and to have a generic image for the lead such as an image of Charles Holden or a map of building locations or an image of a typical stylistic element. bamse (talk) 10:56, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Had another look...and only one minor complaint. Support (under the condition that the list's title is changed to "List of works..." or something similar after promotion). bamse (talk) 08:12, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Why does ref 138 spell out the CWGC and the other references use the abbreviation "CWGC"? Also wikilink "CWGC" in note 4 and define the abbreviation in text somewhere like this: "Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC)". bamse (talk) 17:05, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. Thanks.--DavidCane (talk) 21:37, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. bamse (talk) 08:12, 17 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Support The Rambling Man (talk) 16:04, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks.--DavidCane (talk) 21:37, 16 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Support I found no concerns besides what was already addressed. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 15:51, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
