Too big[edit]

We should probably start National Register of Historic Places listings in Kansas City, Missouri. multichill (talk) 13:14, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. To attract attention, i added this to list of suggested tasks at Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/to do, which displays at wt:NRHP. The page is not incredibly huge, but our rule-of-thumb has been to keep pagesizes below 200 items i think, and I am sure there is coherence to the city listings as opposed to Independence, other listings that are currently mixed in alphabetically in the current list of about 280. --do ncr am 14:17, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Removing the non-KC sites would only reduce the number by about 24. Not sure it's worth the extra effort - for us or for the reader. If we had a clear list of KC neighborhoods it might make sense, or off the top of my head, if I-70 divides the group fairly evenly into north and south, we could do it that way.

BTW, the very last entry has some very interesting template artifacts.

I just eyeballed it and it looks like a fairly even clean split. Perhaps 40% north of I-70, I-670 and 60% south of I-70, I-670. If the coords are correct, it's real easy to decide whether

a site is north or south of the huge interstate highway. The only little quirk is that I-70 goes through the south part of downtown, and a couple of buildings a block apart will be in different lists. If there was a clear way to separate downtown into a third list, then even this quirk could be eliminated. Smallbones (talk) 15:24, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just eyeballed Downtown Kansas City - it's got a clear definition (Mo River (N), State line (W), 31st St. (S), and Troost Ave. (E)) and roughly 80-100 sites are in that area. For our purposes, we might extend the border about 3 blocks east to a street called "The Paseo" to get in another dozen or so. 2 sites are right on 31st Street. In my limited experience with downtown KCMO, folks consider the Paseo to be the best part of downtown. Might not even have to divide the rest of the county into north and south if we split off downtown. Smallbones (talk) 15:42, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
