Talk:Grade I listed buildings in Greater Manchester

message: I see that Ryedale is part of the statistics included in the Images of England page for Greater Manchester, but we know that it is in Yorkshire. How could we convey that to the reader, before they've visited the link and become confused to why Ryedale isn't included in the list? Rt. 22:03, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: We ought to e-mail Images of England to fix this. I think the mistake is obvious enough to hang back for now. We're not going for GA or FA for the timebeing so I think we'll be OK. -- Jza84 · (talk) 23:12, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well seen as it's a list, it can't get GA anyway, but yeah okay. Rt. 17:37, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Inclusion?

message: I think the did you know belongs to either St Werburgh's Church, Warburton or Warburton, Greater Manchester (or perhaps both) rather than this page; this article only mentions one as only one is Geade I. Nev1 (talk) 13:12, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It was mentioned earlier today, see here. Rt. 13:19, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You can see it here also. Rt. 13:22, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I see. I assumed the tag on this page referred to the two churches of St Werburgh as the one on Victorian buildings in Manchester had already been archived when I looked. Nev1 (talk) 13:26, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I think we should standardise on either 6 or 8 digit grid references. Thoughts? --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 16:35, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, definately six rather than 8, as some aren't accurate to 8. Nev1 (talk) 16:41, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Nice, you got the table columns to line up, but is there a way to do it without pushing the pictures into a corner? It leaves a lot of white space. I had a go, but it was back to the old problem of columns not lining up. Alternatively this looks like the right time to reraise the discussion of where images go: we could sitck them all in a gallery at the end? Nev1 (talk) 22:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Getting the columns to line up was the bigger part of the job; changing the grid refs was easy. I'm not sure what you mean by "pushing the pictures into a corner", but I do have a suggestion about where images could go that may help. What about having two tables side by side - one for the present table and the other for the images? I'm not certain how that would work with the section headers without trying it out, but in my mind's eye I see a regular column of pictures down the right hand side of the screen. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 23:03, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: In that case, it may just be my screen settings or because I'm using IE7. Your suggestion sounds like Jza84's in taking a lead from Grade I listed buildings in Bristol, which might be the way to go. Nev1 (talk) 23:15, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That Bristol layout is pretty much exactly what I was suggesting. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 23:22, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

text: PS. Except that I wouldn't start the table(s) in the lead. Shall we try it? --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 23:23, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

text: I'll have a quick bash at it now, but I may not be able to spend the time getting it right until tomorrow. By which time someone else may have done it and saved me the job of course. :-) --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 23:36, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

text: In my browser (which is the boring but common Internet Explorer 7), the tables are pushed right down beneth all the images. Is there an outstanding coding problem? -- Jza84 · (talk) 00:39, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Unfortunatelty, I'm having the same problem as Jza84. Nev1 (talk) 00:43, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm using Firefox, in which everything looks OK. But I think the problem is that the Bristol article gets away with its layout because there's only one table, whereas we've got 10, one after the other. So I think our layout will need to be a bit cleverer. I'll ses what I can do before the sandman makes his next visit. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 00:45, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Assuming this will work (and I do think it will), I think it will look great. -- Jza84 · (talk) 00:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll revert my recent edits, copy this page into my userspace, work on it there, and then bring it back tomorrow when I think it works for IE as well as Firefox. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 00:57, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the conflict may be due to the increased length of the tables. They seem to clip the edge of the images forcing them to seperate. -- Jza84 · (talk) 01:08, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You're probably right, but without the increased length the table columns don't align. I think the best way to resolve this problem is to have one table with two tables inside it, which is what I'll try tomorrow. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 01:14, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Or we invoke WP:IAR and force the image sizes to a preset smaller size?... I'll leave this one with you though. Aren't I kind? -- Jza84 · (talk) 01:35, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No point in giving the MoS police a reason to oppose this article unless we really have no other choice. WP:IAR has its place, and maybe that's what we'll end up having to do, but I'll experiment tomorrow with various layouts/screen sizes/browsers and see what I can come up with that looks like being the best compromise. BTW, what screen size are you using? --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 01:43, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: 19" flat panel display, not a widescreen one either. - I really should be in bed! -- Jza84 · (talk) 02:56, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

text: By George, I think he's got it! It works. Nev1 (talk) 19:13, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks great to me! Seems like there's space for a couple of extra images too! Excellent work Malleus! -- Jza84 · (talk) 21:44, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't the names of the churches be more consistent? They presently range from "St Augustine" to "Parish Church of St Mary". Although giving the full name may take up two lines in some instances, shouldn't they all at least have "church" in the title?  Richerman (talk) 17:44, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you're right, that thought had crossed my mind as well. Churches seem to go by various names though: Church of St Augustine, St Augustine's Church, Parish Church of St Augustine, St Augustine (I made all of those up). Is there a definitive list of each church's "official" name? --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 17:53, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not that I know of but they should be around on various websites. Richerman (talk) 18:08, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Different web sites often give the same church different names though. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 18:24, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's a best guess really. I've changed the Bury ones, I'll wait to see what others think before going any further Richerman (talk) 18:45, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There was only one left without "Church" in the title so I've done that too. I'm happy with it now anyway Richerman (talk) 19:04, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've gone for the names that Images of England used in the ones I've changed. It does look better now though, I agree. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 19:07, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I spotted this issue myself a while back. I raised it with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Anglicanism at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Anglicanism#Naming_conventions_query, but alas, nothing really came of it. I list the various styles in that discussion. -- Jza84 · (talk) 23:27, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  In the the end I used the form that you see on the name outside most churches which is "Church of" or "Parish Church of" and I think that was the same as Malleus Fatuorum used so it is at least fairly consistent throughout the list. Are all those red links a good idea though? Richerman (talk) 23:56, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm totally happy with that. Seems strange that the various Christianity projects haven't synthesised a naming convention for this issue though. Oh well, WP:GM leading the way again! -- Jza84 · (talk) 00:26, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Judging from the comments made so far on the FLC those red links are going to cause a problem. Looks like we'll have to roll our sleves up and write some stubs if we want this to get through. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 14:00, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

text: I'm happy with any system so long as it's consistent. My personal view on this is that the church's article title should be "Church of Saint Whoever, Parish", but in the article itself, use the convention "Parish, Saint Whoever is a church in Exampleshire, Exampleland". The "Parish, Dedication" style is the official convention in the Church of England (I can't speak for the other denominations). However, what would a man raised by Presbyterians, Baptised an Anglican and sent to Methodist sunday school know about any of this for... 23:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with your article naming convention, for instance, Church of St Leonard, Middleton. Within the article I don't see such a need for consistency though. For instance, I don't have a problem seeing an article about Church of ...St X, Y start off "St X's is ...". BTW. Why are we having the thresh out this church naming convention? It's hard enough writing all these stubs without worrying about what to name them. And that's the considered opinion of someone who was brought up as a Roman Catholic. :-) --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 00:03, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: We shouldn't be! I'm utterly amazed that this issue hasn't been tackled before now. There doesn't seem much desire to do so from the various Christianity projects either. I shudder to think how we'll standardise List of churches in Greater Manchester. -- Jza84 · (talk) 00:16, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Naming convention 

message: I'm not sure that the "13 Arches" entry for Salford is correct. There is an article on the Clifton Viaduct which is also known as the 13 arches but that says it's a grade II structure. However the picture looks like it's of a different bridge than the one in the reference given for Salford Council Listed buildings site where its called "Railway Bridge Wilburn St" On there it looks as if the arch shown is lower and wider and it doesn't look like 13 arches would be needed there for a crossing of that height.  Richerman (talk) 14:46, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you're right. The picture on Salford's site doesn't look anything like 13 Arches. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 16:10, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  As it's not just me going daft I've changed it to "Railway bridge over the River Irwell" Richerman (talk) 16:27, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm very sorry, 13 arches was my fault. I think I've found the correct ref on IoE (the image is almost identicle to the one on the Salford website) except that IoE says it's in Manchester rather than Salford. Nev1 (talk) 17:12, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's definitely the right bridge. As it's crossing the Irwell I suppose that one end is in Manchester and the other is in Salford. I wonder why Salford claimed it and Manchester didn't? --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 17:38, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

text: To answer my own question, I've just noticed that it is listed in both Manchester and Salford, so there are only 46 Grade I buildings in GM. Which taable entry should we keep? --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 17:41, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: How about both, with a note to say why? Nev1 (talk) 17:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Good idea. In the meantime I deleted it from the Salford table because that was easier than correcting the listing details. :-) --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 18:05, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd personally make a note in the third paragraph of the lead that one crosses the district boundary. I think it deserves a note given the distinction. -- Jza84 · (talk) 23:17, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Another good idea. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 23:28, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  13 Arches 

message: I've overhauled the article, based on the information from http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/advancedsearch.aspx I wish that had been available a few years ago when we first wrote the article. Nothing has been lost, we just have a few more images now. The references aren't showing properly at the moment, but I think that will be fixed further down the line. The new layout is with an eye towards the UK participating in Wiki Loves Monuments. I did this one manually, but I think User:KTC has a script which can do things a bit quicker. If there's someone who can lend a hand, either with the Grade II* GM list or a list from somewhere else in the region (you can see them at Listed buildings in England) it would be a massive help. While the script can do most of the heavy lifting, someone needs to check the names are correct. If you have the time, let KTC or myself know. Nev1 (talk) 11:04, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Marple Aqueduct 

message: Noting the discussion from 2008 above, I wonder if it does make sense to list it twice?  The article is on Grade 1 listed buildings in Greater Manchester.  There is only one such railway bridge over the Irwell.  Therefore, I'm not at all sure that recording it twice helps readers - it certainly confused me.  Surely more of it sits in one area than the other, or does the Manchester/Salford boundary absolutely bisect it?  Which council pays for it's upkeep, if either., or is it both?  That said, I see that English Heritage does maintain two separate listings, for "that part in Manchester" and for "that part in Salford" so maybe I should just shut up. KJP1 (talk) 22:42, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I just stumbled accross that as there is Manchester Liverpool Road railway station listed with the same id on this list. There are definetly two listings for the bridge. But I have not been able to locate the correct ID for the station. Agathoclea (talk) 11:37, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
