I remember the discussion (though I didn't remember the mention of the EH list). I suppose we could try asking them nicely to give us the list in a more useful format, but even if we could import just the name of the building, it would be a start.    Harry Mitchell http://enwp.org/User:HJ Phone: 024 7698 0977 Skype: harry_j_mitchell ________________________________ From: Rod Ward <rod(a)rodspace.co.uk> To: 'HJ Mitchell' <hjmitchell(a)ymail.com>om>; 'UK Wikimedia mailing list' <wikimediauk-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Sent: Wednesday, 16 January 2013, 20:27 Subject: RE: [Wikimediauk-l] WikiConference 2013 Speakers Harry,   I’m not so sure it would be easy to import the EH list by bot (particularly if you want to include location data etc). If you take a look at a previous discussion re WikiLovesMonuments last year (see http://wikimedia.7.n6.nabble.com/Why-is-UK-not-part-of-Wiki-loves-monuments… )I found some issues with the EH Spatial Data page which uses the ESRI format. Unless someone has cracked that it could be difficult.   Rod   From:wikimediauk-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:wikimediauk-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of HJ Mitchell Sent: 16 January 2013 17:15 To: UK Wikimedia mailing list Subject: Re: [Wikimediauk-l] WikiConference 2013 Speakers   Indeed (I'm responsible for the Grade Is, Grade II*s and Scheduled Monuments in Coventry). I was under the impression that some of the Grade Is by county were created by a bot or script, but (not knowing much about such things), I imagine it would be reasonably easy to import English Heritage's lists by bot.     Harry Mitchell http://enwp.org/User:HJ Phone: 024 7698 0977 Skype: harry_j_mitchell   ________________________________ From:Richard Nevell <richard.nevell(a)wikimedia.org.uk> To: UK Wikimedia mailing list <wikimediauk-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Sent: Wednesday, 16 January 2013, 17:02 Subject: Re: [Wikimediauk-l] WikiConference 2013 Speakers   There are twice as many Grade II* listed building as there are Grade I (around 20,000 and 10,000 respectively). Though each county has a list of Grade I listed buildings, corresponding lists for Grade II* are rare. Part of the issue may be because the lists can be very long and unwieldy. If this could be automated it would be very useful as the lists take a huge amount of time to put together by hand. Just ask Peter I. Vardy who wrote a few of the lists.   Richard Nevell On 16 January 2013 16:49, Andrew Gray <andrew.gray(a)dunelm.org.uk> wrote: As I recall, the objections were in part that we have most of this material already on Commons (via Geograph), but badly organised.
