List of works by Sharpe and Paley

 * Nominator(s): Peter I. Vardy (talk) 15:30, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because it contains the major works produced by a provincial but important architectural practice in Lancaster, England, between 1845 and 1866, the period of time that it was known as Sharpe and Paley. The practice had been founded in 1835 and continued until 1946. This list provides a comprehensive account of its output during this period in its history. Peter I.

 * Accessibility: All of the images have sensible alt text. The main table has its row and column headers identified and marked up with proper scopes, so the table is as accessible as we can make it for different screen readers. The key table only has headers marked up, but is so small that it should not cause anyone a problem.
 * The colours used in the key all have contrast ratios greater than 12 against black text, so exceed WCAG AAA standards and the colours are not used to convey information unavailable by other means. My only quibble is that the key uses the words "Grade II*" for example, while the corresponding entry in the main table uses just "II*" - I'd have used "II*" in the key for consistency, particularly as a screen reader could read the word "Grade" from the column header in the key table. But that is really nit-picking as Peter I. Vardy has obviously put a lot of effort into meeting our accessibility standards. Well done!
 * The subject is well beyond my expertise, but the list is attractive, the lead is engaging and grammatically very tidy, and the content is copiously and accurately referenced (a nod to Malleus' fine work there). From all that I see, this is an example of our finest content and I have no hesitation in offering my Support. --RexxS (talk) 19:06, 17 April 2013 (UTC)


 * That pile of references in the lead should be migrated to the proper place in the table, with excess examples trimmed. Otherwise this looks good. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:04, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Done --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 14:17, 5 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Support - Still a little worried that the number of examples in the lead is excessive, but I don't think it's something to oppose over. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:48, 5 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Image review: No apparent copyright problems.  Good raise  07:14, 18 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Support.  Good  raise  07:20, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Support now my minor quibbles and Goodraise's splendid review comments have been addressed. Nice work all round.  The Rambling Man (talk) 17:00, 6 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Quick comment – Ref 15 needs a pp. for the page range, instead of the current p. Same for refs 25 and 85. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 20:30, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
