List of listed London Underground stations
This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because… I developed this list earlier this year, and wonder if it would meet the requirements for Featured List.

 * Here are some of my suggestions and observations:
 * At first glance, the title of the list is not easily understandable. I realize that here the word "listed" refers to listed structure, but in a more general sense "listed" could mean being on any sort of list. Have you considered changing the title to something like, "List of London Underground stations that are listed structures"?
 * This sentence reads awkwardly: "Early District Railway stations were similar and on both railways the further from central London the station the simpler the construction." I think it would benefit from the insertion of some commas, as well as splitting it into two sentences: "Early District Railway stations were similar. On both railways, the further from Central London, the simpler the construction of stations."
 * This sentence is also fairly long and difficult to parse: "The City & South London Railway opened with red-brick buildings topped with a lead-covered dome that contained the lift mechanism that were designed by Thomas Phillips Figgis, such as the Grade II listed station at Kennington." It is ambiguous whether the red-brick buildings were designed by Mr Figgis, or the lead-covered dome, or the lift mechanism (although the last two options would imply a grammatical error).
 * Perhaps the list would be improved by including a map of London with the listed Underground stations clearly labelled.
 * Overall I quite enjoyed going through the list. It seems to be very well researched with many good sources. The lead is quite well written, barring the wordy sentences I mentioned. I think it is almost good enough to be nominated for Featured List. dllu (t,c) 01:27, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comments:
 * I'd prefer " List of London Underground stations that are listed buildings"; Although structures is correct, listed building is the common name (that's where the article is).
 * Although WP:LISTNAME says that starting with List of  is standard practice, this appears to avoided with lists of listed buildings. All those listed at WP:FL have the form Listed buildings in Rivington or Grade I listed churches in Cheshire. Edgepedia (talk) 10:22, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I've rewritten the two sentences you mentioned.
 * A map just as you suggest is automatically generated by clicking on the GeoGroup. Reading the documentation, this belongs at the top, so I'll move it. Edgepedia (talk) 09:14, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I think a title like "Listed London Underground stations" might work also. Perhaps discuss this with people from relevant Wikiprojects.
 * The rewritten sentences are much better.
 * The map generated by GeoGroup is quite useful. dllu (t,c) 18:21, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Thank you everyone, I'm closing this now and opening a move discussion to settle the name. Edgepedia (talk) 05:07, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
