thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Both Chatsworth and Castle Howard  (structures of comparable size and national importance) are simply described in the lede as 'Stately Homes'.
Any particular reason for this specific description? Hanoi Road (talk) 13:35, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Adjusted - but I would be OK with the previous description if anyone has strong views. Dormskirk (talk) 16:32, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: It is describes as monumental because unlike all other “stately” homes it was built literally as a monument as well as a home. I believe this is unique in Britain. It is a designed monument and mausoleum to the 1st Duke and his military glories. The text does explain this. Giano   (talk) 16:51, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds fair to me. Thanks. Dormskirk (talk) 16:54, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Monumental Country House"? 

message: Proposing to add the infobox building template to the page. It provides a great way of summarising the page in a couple of field. Smithr32 (talk) 14:13, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: , re: "I doubt very much the view of the main editor has, but am pinging him so we can find out"; please see WP:VOTESTACK. -- DeFacto (talk). 17:39, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Read - and I would do nothing differently. KJP1 (talk) 17:45, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for the ping, but it wasn’t votestacking as this page is on my watchlist and I would have come straight here anyway. If you look at the page history, I am often here. Giano   (talk) 20:34, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

text: ...and I just looked at the reverted infobox, where it’s described as a “palace.” Which show a complete misunderstanding of the building. It’s a country house, just because it’s called a palace doesn't mean it’s a palace, any more than the myriad of wealthy bankers who buy huge farmhouses in the English countryside and then call them Rose Cottage means they are cottages, or houses called the Grange, but don’t have farm buildings attached are granges.

text: Support because to get this simple information about the building people do not want to look through the entire page, they simply want it immediately, which is what an infobox is for. Edward Jocob Philip Smith (talk) 13:09, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
