A user deleted the entire "Selection controversy" subsection a while back. I've restored this section as no explanation was given for the deletion. 217.155.20.163 17:14, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Last sentence "proposals are be considered for the commemoration of sites of special historical interest"
I'd usually correct this kind of small error without discussion as it would be uncontroversial. However I am not sure whether to put "are to be" or cut "be". I don't know the original text or whether indeed it is quoted from literally so advice would be appreciated (or someone else to correct appropriately).
I am just getting used to Wikipedia edits and starting small so please excuse me if I am against netiquette.

It's been suggested by Wikipedia editors that money changes hands for the privilege of having a blue plaque on a house. If this is correct, it needs to be researched and included in the article with watertight referenced sources. -- Kudpung ( talk) 00:34, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
Although they are called 'blue' plaques, many are not actually blue! The eariest examples are not blue either and some other schemes use different colours. It's increasingly being used as a generic term for a commerative plaque...so I have 'undone' the change by 98.26.16.19. FGLawson ( talk) 08:11, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
There is a Blue Plaque in at least one Heinlen novel that I can think of... And a few other books also. It might be a positive thing to add an "In Literature" or "In Media" section to the article? Thisfox ( talk) 06:12, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
English Heritage is continuing to support the Blue Plaques scheme - but over the next 2 years it is concentrating on reducing the backlog of plaques. So the scheme itself is not suspended as reported in The Guardian. However is not accepting any new applications for the time being. [1] New plaques to Mendelssohn and Richard Dimbleby were put up in January and February 2013. FGLawson ( talk) 16:22, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
I have a feeling that this will have been addressed before, but I wonder if there is any consensus for or against the creation of separate articles relating to local plaques schemes? The 'other UK schemes' section is starting to get quite lengthy and a little convoluted as more and more additions are made and my opinion is that local schemes are sufficiently notable so long as they meet the ordinary requirements of WP:N. Thoughts? Meetthefeebles ( talk) 20:49, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
Under the criteria it states that fictional characters are not eligible, but then in the list of plaques it includes Sherlock Holmes. Is there some reference or statement from RSA that can be included somewhere in the article that explains this contradiction? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.233.117.138 ( talk) 16:04, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
Do you want a blue plaque category at Wikidata? -- Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) ( talk) 19:56, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Some kind of coverage needed. They certainly exist, this one commemorates Sir Cyril Fox, but I don't know if it's Rhiwbina Civic Society or wider. Will nose around. KJP1 ( talk) 17:18, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
and this one tells me it's RCS. Odd that they lived so close for so long, given that, by all accounts, Peate loathed Fox. KJP1 ( talk) 17:20, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
