Andy, Getting the photos CC licenced would be good, however most counties/areas don't have lists of GII buildings (certainly not using the template developed for WLM - although many may be too long for current template restrictions). Perhaps any communication with EH could include a request for the data & then the same semi automated development processes applied to creating the lists (would make it much easier if GII are included next year). Also thinking ahead to next year should consideration be given to (Scheduled) Ancient Monuments, Registered Parks and Gardens, Battlefields, Wrecks etc for inclusion? One other thought .. The Heritage at Risk list for 2013 came out yesterday (the call for photographers/surveyors was tacked on to it) I started updating some of the local heritage which appears on it, but found our categories for these use old terminology - anyone interested in participating the the discussion see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2013_… Rod On 11.10.2013 11:48, Andy Mabbett wrote:

Yes, we have all the grade II data for England and the corresponding data for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, too. However, getting that information onto Wikipedia in a usable format is not trivial are there are getting on for half a million building records. Automated linkages between Wikipedia and the Monuments Database rely on each record being represented by a template in Wikipedia, and unfortunately MediaWiki limits the number of templates to no more than 130 or so (if my memory serves) per page. That means breaking the records up into such small lists that navigation becomes a nightmare. Even for the grade II* buildings we have some areas that have been split into separate pages of buildings based on name A-M and name N-Z. Such lists are totally hopeless for users who need to find a particular building and know neither the name it happens to have been give in the official listing nor even in which listing area it appears (these are based largely on obsolete county and other regional boundaries). So, yes, it would be good to get these on, but some new approaches will be needed. Wikidata may well be able to help in the future (eg by providing a searchable Wiki database which is automatically linked with the various sources of official data).
