Does anyone else think that this article needs to be split? My main problem is not its size (even though the size is a problem), but the fact that it contains different types lists, some listing buildings and some listing architects. I propose as a first step that the first section is made into an
211: 898:
No, please don't let restructuring hold up other stuff. It will take a while to work thorugh this stuff, so keep adding anything you have. As to the headings, the divisions is what bothers me too, some buildings just don't fit into one phase or another.
164: 809:?) There are literally thousands and thousands of historic buildings in the UK, it is ridiculous to try to maintain a manageable list of these, even if split into several period lists. Surely this is what categories were made for? 55: 970:
It would be useful, especially for casual readers like me, if the subheadings could be wikilinked to explanations of them. I see from the above discussion that it's not simply a case of assigning dates to them.
158: 827:'s works listed under "English baroque". I will try to come up with a better, more detailed list of architectural styles/periods, though sorting all these buildings may be difficult. 823:, and am rearranging this page by building, rather than by architect. The lists are rather confused at present and will require trimming and sub-sorting. eg Scots classicist 542: 437: 1102: 637: 35: 348: 1087: 1072: 532: 427: 1062: 338: 850:, and split into sections as outlined on the sub-page. Comments on the headings welcome. It would be nice to have some sort of consensus for doing all this... 179: 90: 1097: 1092: 1077: 146: 508: 403: 1082: 1067: 868:
but the divisions between the periods & styles will never be totally clear cut. Does the new list need to link (in some way, I've no idea how) to the

is, as you say, a bit of a mess, perhaps it might be better to fix up the cats first, then come back and see what can be done with the list(s)?
997:
I will leave it a while, to see if editors have other ideas. At some point, if no objections are raised, I then suggest we do the replacing.
864:
I agree that the page needs sorting - but I'm not sure what is the best way to do it. I used similar headings/periods to those you suggest on
1117: 865: 730: 136: 613: 305: 266: 41: 1122: 805:
I can't imagine this page being of any use to anyone in its current form. At the very least architects should be split from buildings! (
186: 706: 1107: 922: 889:
PS are you happy for us to add buildings we've done articles about as far as Baroque or will that just get in the way of your plans?—

Further suggestion: this page could be split into four or five sub-pages, linked as a series. I propose the headings listed

There are drawbacks with the use of the A-L, M-Z headings, and I thus suggest we replace them with
200: 297: 172: 1017:
If one does, there's no reason to fix the number of columns at precisely 2 ("one size fits all").
972: 956: 796: 772: 1011:
2: The columns require different lengths. This leaves unnecessary white space & scrolling.
281: 260: 787: 762:
An awful lot of these are not buildings at all. I am inclined to take them out. Any comments?

I agree, the list needs to be split into several pages to make more sense.

2. The browser will make all the columns an equal no. of lines.

It's surely obvious that the entries are in alphabetical order.

Agree - the whole thing is awkward too. No real context to it.
