As this is the first year the UK has participated we wanted to make sure we didn't bite off more than we can chew. Grade I and II* (or category A in Scotland) are the most important listed buildings in the UK and that still amounts to over 38,000 individual listings.
If things go well this year, we have the option of expanding to include Grade II listed buildings in the future, but as there are about 400,000 listed buildings of all grades it seemed sensible to start small and focus on the most important sites.

Hi,
I was just clicking around and ended up at https://commons.wikimedia.org/* *wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_**Monuments_2013_in_the_United_** Kingdom/Eligible_buildingshttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013_in_the_United_Kingdom/Eligible_buildings. I compared it to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/**Listed_buildings_in_the_**United_Kingdomhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listed_buildings_in_the_United_Kingdomand it looks like your excluding 85% of the listed buildings from participation. Why? :-(
