Talk:Listed buildings in Liverpool

message: Why is this page a stub?!?! Its one of the longest pages on wikipedia.
----
1. This page missing confirmation of copyright. The content appears to be taken directly from the Liverpool City Council webpage referred to at the bottom of the page.
2. The page could usefully be broken down by area and by category.  A short description of especially the grade one buildings would be good, with pictures to make the article more interesting.
3. I would suggest breaking up the page into seperate pages for e.g. city centre, Allerton, etc.
4. I'm not sure how frequently this page is monitored. If the original contributors can confirm that they have the right to use the council document referred to, that would be useful.  As the link is given, does this huge list serve a purpose? If not, I will undertake radical surgery!

replies: text: This is an old discussion, but in answer to the question, one  purpose served here is to give links to other pages on WP. And no, breaking the list up would be counter-productive; it's far easier to find things this way. Swanny18 (talk) 10:24, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Sorry, but this is very ordinary. Namely:
* Information is hard to use (could be in sortable tables)
* Horribly over-linking (why are the dates linked for goodness sake?)
* Pictures should be removed. It's a list page—save the pictures for the articles on individual buildings
* Confusing: what does the date actually mean? (Slightly rhetorical, but why should I have to try and work it out?)
* Confusing: what is the "II" marker doing? Is it a separator? Why is there sometimes only "I"? (Okay, I eventually figured out that it means "Grade"—but why should I have to struggle to figure that out?)
* Confusing: what does the odd "*" mean?
* If we're not going to do anything except repeat a list, the "List of Listed Buildings (79 pages, PDF)" link is probably sufficient. At least that pdf provides contextual information.
* (Probably) too long
I'm happy to work on things (as long as there is consensus, and that the vast majority of the links are agreed to be removed).

replies: text: But isn't the problem there are over 2500 listed buildings in Liverpool so tabulating them would create a massive article or require it to be split up into several articles --Daviessimo (talk) 08:05, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I do like the idea of splitting the buildings up into I, II and II* groups, because the Manchester list looks really good. I also like the idea of keeping this as an index list with nothing but the listed buildings names provided because it will make navigation a lot easier --Daviessimo (talk) 21:21, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I removed the claim about Liverpool having the greatest number of listed buildings outside of London, as Bristol appears to have more - see here. Cordless Larry (talk) 20:22, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
