Bristol listed buildings

Thanks for your work on categories for listed buildings. I have put grade I cat back onto British Empire and Commonwealth Museum as it is housed in the original station building which is, itself listed grade I. As a general point if buildings are in Category:Grade I listed buildings in Bristol (or II* or II) then I have removed the cat Category:Buildings and structures in Bristol as this is considered a "parent cat" which includes those for specific grades.— Rod ^talk 06:50, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the grade type is adequate on its own, so Category:Buildings and structures in Bristol stands in lieu of Category:Railway stations in Bristol. As for the other point, I made it clear in my original edit why I took it out. BTM is categorised as a grade I listed railway station. Casperonline 14:58, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On that basis all the buildings in GI, GII* should also be in Category:Buildings and structures in Bristol - which seems ridiculous & is not normal practice. RE British Empire and Commonwealth Museum it has a separate listing from English Heritage from the modern station & if you are saying Category:Grade I listed museum buildings is only for buildings which were originally built as museums then I am surprised to see Sandham Memorial Chapel & Sir John Soane's Museum amongst the list.— Rod ^talk 15:13, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely they should be. Dividing buildings by grade is not the natural thing to do, dividing them by type is. How is the average Japanese or American reader going to know how to find articles about churches or railway stations or any other type of building if all he or she sees is a mysterious set of categories for "grades"? Sandham Memorial Chapel and Sir John Soane's Museum were both built in part as museums - see their articles (an art gallery is a type of museum). I can vouch for this personally as I have visited both. Casperonline 15:24, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BTW There is a cat Category:Railway stations in Bristol, Bath and South Gloucestershire.— Rod ^talk 15:15, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Which is not a purely Bristol category, and in any case it is only one example. There are many types of buildings of which Bristol will only have one or two examples with articles. Unless subcategories are created for all of them, they should stay in Category:Buildings and structures in Bristol. All buildings of the same type in the same place should be in the same category, rather than spread across 4 according to whether they are listed I, II*, II or unlisted, which just makes the articles harder to browse for no gain. Articles that are only in a listing category are likely to be overlooked by people who do not know about listing. Listing is just not a sensible primary way to sort buildings (and this is a person who had just made hundreds of edits to the listing categories writing).

Swarkestone

Do not understand your edit on Swarkestone. You left the edit summary that it isnt about a building ...

Is your objection that the article is about more than one thing

or with the Dept of the Envionment who made a bridge into a grade one building?

If we categorised every place with listed buildings in the listed buildings categories, there would be more places than buildings in those categories, which would make them hard to use. What we need to get to is having a separate article about each grade I buildings. Casperonline 22:18, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
