List of ecclesiastical works by E. G. Paley

 * Nominator(s): Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:33, 1 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I am nominating this for featured list because it is the next in a series of lists of works by the Lancaster architectural firm of Sharpe, Paley and Austin. This list is based on the format of the recently promoted List of works by Sharpe and Paley with some added refinements.  The text has been copyedited. Peter I.

 * Support sometimes common sense should prevail over the prescriptive letter of MOS, if the citations looked abhorrent, I'd be worried, but as it is, they're just fine. Nice piece of work.  The Rambling Man (talk) 16:22, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Support. A very good list. A few comments:
 * I don't like the title as I took it at first as a list of works of theology, but as it is part of a series I suppose it would be too difficult to change it to 'list of buildings'.
 * Yes, it is part of a series, the parallel list being List of non-ecclesiastical works by E. G. Paley. I suppose it could be "buildings" instead of "works", but as this is a follow-on from the FL List of works by Sharpe and Paley it is best to stick with this for consistency.
 * It would be better to give his name in full at the start, particularly as he is referred to lower down as Edward Paley.
 * Done
 * On St Peter's Hindley it says "This was a church" even though it still exists. Similarly with St Saviour's Aughton. I suggest revision to avoid confusion.
 * Amended as suggested.
 * Thanks for the suggestions and support, --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 20:31, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Minor comment on an excellent list - the sorting sometimes strikes me as a little odd (but that may just be Firefox). If I sort by name, I get All Saints Wigan, All Saints High Walton, and All Saints Lupton - I would have thought that it would be nicest to sort churches of the same name by location, and indeed this seems to happen elsewhere in the list. Is the † throwing things out? Similarly with the St Mary's churches - the ones without a "†" sort in order of location, then the ones with a "†" sort in order of location... Perhaps an explicit sort where there is a † would fix this non-problem...? Otherwise, the usual excellent and interesting work that we have all come to expect from you and your lists, Peter.

 * Sorry about the delay - been away. Thanks for the comment.  Actually I've always wondered why the Names column should sort anyway; does anyone really want to collect the "St Mary"s together?  But I had made it sortable because it seems to be traditional.  Regarding sort within a sort, not sure whether it matters or not.  Anyway it's done; the churches with similar dedications now (I think) all sort by location within the dedication.  And it had to be done with all the separate dedications, not just those with a "†".  --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 11:01, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Support. Apologies ditto, though without the same excuse! That's fine and I see no other bar to its promotion. Well done. BencherliteTalk 09:34, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Comments –
 * "to become a pupil of Edmund Sharpe. Sharpe...". Try not to repeat the name from the end of one sentence to the start of another like this.
 * Holy Trinity Church, Leeds Road: "Holy Trinity designed in Decorated style" needs the addition of "was" after the name. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 01:42, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for spotting those. Fixed. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:59, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
