Good morning Peter, and a belated happy New Year to you. Delighted to see the lists continue to progress. I've been adding some photos to List of work on castles and country houses by Anthony Salvin and got a bit tangled up with Butler's Pantry, Rosedene, and Briardene, Skutterskelfe Hall. There are a number of confusing features:
So, the bottom line, assuming they are the same place, would you have any concerns if I renamed the entry Rudby Hall in the List of Salvin Works? I'd then tweak the Hutton Rudby and Skutterskelfe articles to reflect this, and probably end up creating an article on the hall. This, Grade II* listed buildings in Hambleton, which I think is one of Nev1's, would also need tweaking. We appear to have one poor photo. Best regards. KJP1 ( talk) 11:42, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi, planning on running this in March, if we can reach the target of 1000 destubs it'll boost the challenge to over half the way there! You'll have noticed that generally very few people work on destubbing articles, so a much needed mechanism, think of it as a mechanism rather than a "contest". You're doing fantastic work building the listed building lists, don't want to disrupt that, but if you feel like taking a month off and fleshing out some of our listed building stubs you're most welcome!♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:07, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I don't know if you're much of a photographer, but Wikimedia UK I'm sure would offer grants for visiting areas of the UK and taking photographs to go with your lists if you were interested. Wouldn't cost you anything and you'd get to visit these places at the same time! One like Listed buildings in Quarnford could really do with more photos. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:02, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Impressively quick update to the Listed buildings in Mungrisdale article. It was me that nominated the new boundary stone for listing (after coming across it on a walk and wondering why it wasn't listed like the others in the area), and I was only notified by English Heritage a couple of days ago that my proposal had been accepted! Out of interest, how did you know it had been added to the list – is there a way to get updates, or a webpage that shows new listings? Dave.Dunford ( talk) 19:19, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi, Peter. I'm just posting to let you know that List of churches preserved by the Churches Conservation Trust in the English Midlands – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for June 22. The TFL blurb can be seen here. If you have any thoughts on the selection, please post them on my talk page or at TFL talk. Regards, Giants2008 ( Talk) 23:28, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, wondered if you could have a look at List of works by Thomas Taylor that has an error for {{sfn|Hartwell|Pevsner|2009}} as there is no long reference as target for the link. Could you supply the missing reference? Thanks. Keith D ( talk) 18:45, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi Peter. I was just adding some listed building photos from a walk today in Coddington and Barton, Cheshire, and adding (as I customarily do) links to adjoining parishes in the "See also" sections of the two parishes I visited. I couldn't find an article for Listed buildings in Stretton, Cheshire (which would include Stretton Hall, Stretton Lower Hall, Stretton Old Hall and Stretton Watermill, but isn't linked from any of those buildings' articles). Have I missed it, or is it a deliberate omission or an oversight? Enjoyed my walk today but irritatingly missed two easily gettable LBs in Barton that would have completed the parish. Dave.Dunford ( talk) 21:02, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
As a Yorkshire resident, I'm really enjoying your work on the listed buildings of the county! I'm sorry to read above that some of it is a bit dull, but once you make it over near York there are no end of amazing structures. I put together lists of the listed buildings in Sheffield some time ago - we have photos now of the large majority - but your approach is definitely superior, so please feel free to modify and improve the information on that area if you wish. Warofdreams talk 10:44, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi Peter - hope you’re keeping well in these strange times. If you revisit old work, I’d be interested in your views on a discussion on the Talkpage of Friends of Friendless Churches. KJP1 ( talk) 14:52, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi Peter, I'm just looking at drafting an article on the Church of St Nicholas at Saintbury & one of the sources from CCT suggests it should be included in List of churches preserved by the Churches Conservation Trust in the English Midlands but it doesn't appear to be, Is this because it has come under CCT since you did these lists or was it left out deliberately?— Rod talk 14:37, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi Peter. I've been plodding through old photos looking for listed buildings and found this of Stokes Cottage, Swanwick Green from 2009; rather a nice building. I've added it to Listed buildings in Norbury, Cheshire but thought I'd check that it's not included elsewhere – I can't remember you missing any entries in the past. Dave.Dunford ( talk) 16:27, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi Peter, I hope this note finds you well. I am trying to standardize some of the Featured topics, by getting them all topic descriptions, akin to the one for 1880 United States presidential election. As the nominator and main contributor, I'm wondering if you would be willing to write something short for Wikipedia:Featured topics/John Douglas? It doesn't need to be anything long or referenced, as the example above shows, so hopefully this wouldn't be too big of a hassle. Regards - Aza24 ( talk) 04:03, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
Hallo, I was surprised to find that Abbot Hall Art Gallery had no content about the building, beyond the statement that it is grade I listed (not even a link to the NHLE at that point), so I remedied this by copying your description from Listed buildings in Kendal, with proper acknowledgement on both articles' talk pages, and copying your two references. Thanks for all your work there.
You'll probably be alerted by having the talk page of the list on your watchlist, but I thought I'd drop you a note about it too. Thanks for all your efforts - I just tweak things around the edges in a fairly random way myself, this particular stream of edits having started by hearing a talk which mentioned the closure of Newton Rigg College (which at that point only had a single-sentence mention in Askham Bryan College, not good enough for a college founded in 1896 and going strong until recently), when I noticed that one of the leading local businessmen associated with its founding, Gilbert Gilkes, didn't have a mention, so have now created Gilbert Gilkes & Gordon, one of whose early turbines is in the collection of Lakeland Arts who are currently redeveloping Abbot Hall... and so we go. Nearly lunchtime now, must log out and get on with Real Life. Happy Editing, stay safe. Pam D 12:25, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello Peter, thanks for the Listed buildings in Leeds (City and Hunslet Ward - northern area), but there appears to be a problem with a couple of entries. 1313186 is in the refs but nothing links to it, while 1255902 has a short ref but no full ref to link to. Could you have a look? Many thanks. Keith D ( talk) 12:27, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
I came also to ask about your new lists - why use the old City and Hunslet ward (and arbitrarily subdivide it) rather than a current ward? Rcsprinter123 (natter) 12:57, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
I am, as always, impressed by your two new articles on the listed buildings in central Leeds, and agree that the railway line is a logical place to divide the ward. Once I'm regularly working from the office, I'll be in Leeds, and now know which listed buildings don't yet have photos! Warofdreams talk 18:28, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi, Peter. For the past few weeks I've been adding photographs to this page, though with increasing difficulty, and today it's finally become impossible for me to get it to load with a new photo. I'll carry on trying, but I wonder if you'd consider splitting the page up? As an expatriate Lancastrian I feel rather invested in improving it as far as possible. -- Antiquary ( talk) 12:09, 20 June 2021 (UTC) And of course it loaded at the very next attempt! However, I have many more photos to add, increasing the size of the page every time, so the long-term problem remains. -- Antiquary ( talk) 12:46, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
While I don't mind a discussion on my page like you did. I appreciate your clarity but the whole I've written lots of articles like these felt like a swipe at me for questioning the authenticity. I asked for clarity and you saying I am wrong and the other user was right wasn't the issue. But then his revert calling my revert inappropriate was offensive. He told me I was wrong to revert when you said yourself there be no leads for Huddersfield Bradford or Leeds listed buildings to give a backstory to the area in question. I am up for a discussion but the user spoke to me like I didn't know how to edit articles. And have no right to ask for authenticity or why it is relevant. RailwayJG ( talk) 15:08, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi Peter, I hope you are well. Inspiring to see you are still powering on with the fantastic listed building lists. I still watch your talk page from years ago and the discussion about Lanacaster reminded me to share something with you. I expect you will notice I just replaced an image of a boundary marker in Listed buildings in Padiham. When I took the previous photo about five years ago I was immediately aware that the marker matched the county borough markers around Burnley. It did not look much like the other township marker in Padiham. I was convinced of an error in the EH database and aware that you had a contact to report this to. For all these years, each time I passed the marker, I thought I must message Peter about this. Then a few weeks ago I happened to walk past while the sun was setting through the trees behind. And I noticed for the first time another stone sitting just behind the wall (my camera is actually held against the wall to get the photo). All this time being mildly annoyed with myself for not completing a task, and it turns out I wrong to think it ever needed doing!
I also removed the entry for the National School as it was demolished a while back. Interestingly the shop next door was at the time occupied by the property business of Roger Frost, who writes about local history for the Burnley Express. I never could find anything published about the demolition which made me suspicious. The entry no longer appears on the HE list so I guess they noticed. Wikipedia is just going to have to take my word for it. All the best. TiB chat 21:44, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
Hello Peter, there is a problem on Listed buildings in Morley, West Yorkshire. Short reference "Leach & Pevsner (2009)" does not point to a full reference. Though there is a "Harman & Pevsner (2017)" which does not appear to be used. Unsure which way to go here, can you have a look. Many thanks. Keith D ( talk) 12:50, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
Hello Peter, Thanks for another list. There is a problem with ref 15 - could be just the long reference missing. Keith D ( talk) 12:38, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
Hope all is well Peter! I will be in Widnes on Tuesday, and am hoping to get some pics of the newly listed Corporation Bus Depot. All being well, I will upload and link to the list at some point next week. On the Monday I might be able to get some Southport listed buildings as well, although I will mainly be concentrating on rushing around photographing churches!

Congratulations on completing your excellent series on listed buildings in West Yorkshire! I've enjoyed seeing it take shape, particularly as I'm familiar with many of the places, while I've learned of some interesting buildings to visit elsewhere.

Hi again Peter, I recently created a short article on Edisford Bridge. During the process I noticed related errors in Listed buildings in Clitheroe and Listed buildings in Great Mitton, that seem to have been caused by deficiencies in the HE data. As you can see in my article, the bridge has 9 spans in total, with 4 in Clitheroe and 5 in Great Mitton. It is listed in two sections, but as neither HE entry mentions the other part of the bridge, I had to rely on an Engineering Timelines article (RS?). I can't find an online copy of Hartwell and Pevsner (I used it trusting that you got the cite correct), but surely they counted all the spans? I'm not certain of the optimal way to proceed?
