List of places of worship in Adur

 * Nominator(s): Hassocks  5489 (tickets please!)  17:02, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

This is the third list in the planned series of places of worship in Sussex by district. It is modelled on the FLs covering Crawley and Brighton and Hove, but incorporates the recently implemented ALT text requirement. This is my first attempt at writing ALT text, so feedback on it would be particularly appreciated. With the current redlink discussions in mind, all notable churches have articles; I am satisfied that the others have insufficient reliable source information to write viable articles or stubs.

 * Support - I worked really hard to find any flaws, and couldn't. Although, as a lay reader, in your explanation in the lead of the different classifications of listed buildings, it isn't entirely clear to me which status is considered highest and which is the lowest. Some tweaking could clarify it. Geraldk (talk) 16:58, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comments Gerald; I have reworked that sentence to describe the order, and will do so on other lists as well.  Hassocks  5489 (tickets please!)  18:05, 5 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong support. Excellent work here – you have created a well-researched, well-presented list for consideration, but deserve further credit for your work behind the scenes: judicious creation of subsidiary articles, investing time in visiting many of these churches to take photographs, and uploading these and other free images (e.g. from Geograph) to Commons. Needless to say, there are no dablink problems, the external links are all working, the sources used are reliable, the images all pass review, and the alt-text more than sufficiently detailed (not that I'm an expert in that last aspect!).  Perhaps the only comment to make is that the alt text for Erringham chapel shouldn't say that "(including the former chapel itself)", since a non-expert looking at the image couldn't know that from sight alone.  You mention in the list that the chapel is now a barn, anyway, so no information is lost. BencherliteTalk 10:35, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comments Bencherlite, especially on the ALT text.  Hassocks  5489 (tickets please!)  20:45, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Comment from Hassocks: Note that one church has been moved from the "Open" section to the "Closed" section. An IP editor made this change; I have found and added a reference [68] to support it, so thanks are due to the anonymous editor for picking up on this. (I must admit, when I went to photograph the church in question, it looked disused...!)  Hassocks  5489 (tickets please!)  22:49, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Comment Two links are dead. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:40, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm hoping that will just be a temporary glitch. I can't get on to the online planning site at all at the moment (on adur.gov.uk), so the whole thing must be down.  I will investigate further in a few hours.  I think there are PDFs that I can link to if necessary.   Hassocks  5489 (tickets please!)  07:47, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks to be OK now; have just rechecked.  Hassocks  5489 (tickets please!)  11:16, 12 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - nice list— Chris! c / t 02:07, 18 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Support try as I might, I couldn't find an en-dash out of place. I must be losing my touch... great work! The Rambling Man (talk) 16:57, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
