  •   Question Are there only five crosses? If it is the case, maybe a VI set would be more adapted? --Eusebius (talk) 22:43, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for your question,Eusebius. Commons category has now nine differeent crosses. Looks like there are 151 known crosses. May I please ask you, if you still believe I should nominate 9 crosses that we have on Commons in the set? Thank you.--Mbz1 (talk) 23:01, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment No, it would have been valuable only if we had all of them and if there were not too many. Actually I was only looking at the English article. I will review this VI, just not right now. --Eusebius (talk) 06:38, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    The series of crosses on the track in question are about 10/12 (no books to hand) so i have some to "collect" yet :). --Herby talk thyme 08:11, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment It's difficult to choose. I think it is valuable to see both the land and the cross, because of the story attached to them. Actually, I like both this one and this other, where the cross has an odder, more irregular shape (but its lighting is not as good). --Eusebius (talk) 11:15, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support It "speaks" to me. --Foroa (talk) 13:31, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Oppose for now. 'Speaks to me' is not a valid assessment IMO. Maybe we should wait until Herby has caught the few remaining ones and bundle them into a VI set. Lycaon (talk) 10:14, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support I think this image must be VI, because it shows both landscape of Dartmoor and cultural heritage of Dartmoor.--Umnik (talk) 20:45, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment About possible updates in the scope/organization: I am ready to support the picture of a single cross with the present scope, as soon as it is fairly representative of the style and of the landscape. I am also ready to support aVIS with all the 152 crosses, but there must be all of them! I would oppose any incomplete set, and I don't know whether Herby was or not able to shoot all the crosses. Anyway it would be a pretty large set, and some people might not be happy with that. --Eusebius (talk) 21:14, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    •   Comment Ok - my sanity is undoubtedly suspect :) I have some doubts that there are only 152 crosses in the area & my intention was not to capture all of these (yet!). What I was starting to work towards was a particular series of crosses (this is one of them) that (are said to) mark an ancient trackway known as the Abbot's Way which goes from the site of one monastery to another across some fairly bleak moorland. There are (IIRC) 15 crosses on this track & I would certainly hope to try and get the remainder of this series this year. I hope that my comment helps. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 12:41, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      •   Comment About the number, Mbz1 pointed a list with 152 referenced crosses, but there might be more of them. About the trackway, I don't think one given path in Dartmoor is notable enough to justify a scope on its own (although it would surely be valuable to have the path identified and illustrated). I think it's better if we stick to "Dartmoor crosses" in general, therefore I maintain my support on this one. --Eusebius (talk) 12:56, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support Consequence of my previous comment. I may retract my support if Herby says he will be able to provide a complete set. --Eusebius (talk) 21:14, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Result: 3 support, 1 oppose =>
