On 31 May 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from Registered Battlefields (UK) to Registered battlefield. The result of the discussion was moved. |
This page (hopefully) complements the page on the Inventory of Historic battlefields which deals with Scottish sites. If anyone has more information about Welsh and Northern Irish historic battlefield sites that would be welcome. Suggest that we only place historic, rather than modern sites on this page.

The lede of this article is strongly emotive. This is the current text:
"Battlefields are the final resting place for thousands of unknown soldiers, both nobles and commoners, whose lives were sacrificed in the making of the history of their country. These historic assets are an intrinsic part of a nation’s identity and consciousness. They inspire strong emotions and live on in stories, poetry and music."
Talking about the 'sacrifice' of lives, specifically in 'making of the history of their country', the role of the battlefields as 'assets' which are 'intrinsic parts of a nation's identity and consciousness' and the 'strong emotions' they inspire is... a bit much. I propose that this be rewritten to be less emotive. Here's a proposed rewrite, probably not very good, but an attempt:
"Registered Battlefields in the UK are battlefields recognised as having specific historic or cultural significance. They are recognised as such by conservationist organisations for a variety of reasons, including protecting them from development that may threaten historic buildings, items, or topography."

Registered Battlefields (UK) → Registered battlefield – WP:AT / WP:LOWERCASE, MOS:CAPS / MOS:SIGCAPS, WP:SINGULAR, and apparent unnecessary disambiguation. Similar cases related to the National Heritage List for England, i.e. Listed building and Scheduled monument, use sentence case, singular, undisambiguated titles. — BarrelProof ( talk) 04:43, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
