National Trust pilot

Hello! During late June, July and some of August, I'm working on a paid project sponsored by the National Trust to review and enahnce coverage of NT sites. You can find the project edits here, as well as a statement and contact details for the National Trust. I am leaving this message when I make a first edit to a page; please do get in touch if you have any concerns. Lajmmoore (talk) 21:35, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

[edit]

Is there any particular reason why this article is called Wimpole Estate rather than Wimpole Hall? As far as I can see, this is the only country house where we've adopted this approach. I appreciate that the article's coverage is wider than the house alone, but that is true of a great many country house articles. Every major English country house of the 16th-19th centuries had an estate attached. Equally, per Common name, I very much doubt that Wimpole Estate is the generally-used term. I'm proposing a Move unless there are any concerns. KJP1 (talk) 08:13, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you look it up on the National Trust website, the property's name is Wimpole Estate. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 10:06, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
very true, but I'm not sure that makes it the common name. Hope you liked the addition to Haslemere. KJP1 (talk) 10:23, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Haslemere looks good to me. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 10:31, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
