Is anyone interested in helping me expand this article? I don't particularly mind doing it alone, but different sources that improve the neutrality would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Alex ( Talk) 22:51, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I am suprised it hasn't been mentioned that it was the setting of Darcy's home in the BBC adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
I glanced over the article, and it seems to me that much of the introduction should go into the History section. (I was prompted to look at it in detail because the introduction, before the index appears, seemed over-long.) If no-one else objects, or wishes to do it themselves, I'll turn my attention to it in a day or so. DDStretch (talk) 19:26, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
I have reverted this edit [2] for obvious reasons. Giano ( talk) 22:03, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
I have been watching your work at Lyme with admiration, but I just wondered why you thought the style needed amending [3]. I would have thought Palladian was spot on, as in England Italianate and (as far as I know the rest of the world - other than Italy) means a more 19th century style preferably with a belvedere, verandahs, terraces etc. Just a thought. Giano ( talk) 17:00, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
(outdent) Between the last two comments I amended the lead and footnote to try to achieve some sort of acceptable compromise. I am no expert in the matter (as is quite obvious); all I want to do is to improve (not make perfect) some of the articles on Cheshire topics. We could have an edit war. But how about giving it a rest for the time being, see what the GAC reviewer says, and take it from there. Whether it passes GA or not, maybe some expert could then take the discussion on. By the way Pevsner says (he is the expert, not me) "giant pilasters all along a façade belongs rather than to Palladio to the Baroque...."(p. 260); he does not say "classical". It is well known that experts disagree (that's how careers are made). Peter I. Vardy ( talk) 11:15, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
I think this page is vastly improved. There is architectural debate about the south front, so I think the Baroque features need to be defined, e.g., no variation in roof height, no pediments at the end of the range, solid mass etc., as the front lacks the obvious and usual Baroque features, it is important to explain why "experts" say this is spelt out. You could mention that English Baroque is more subtle, plainer and less obvious than the more exuberant forms found elsewhere in Europe (not a lot of people know that!) Can you give a page number for Pevsner's views (if only because I want to quote him at Giacomo Leoni). Also, I feel the page could say more about the interior, how far did the clasicising of the house go, we know that Leoni retained may original features such as the Gibbons wood carvings etc. Was the entrance hall on the upper floor in Tudor times, did the Tudor rooms retain their original use. Is the saloon at the centre of a Baroque double state-suite as the exterior design implies or is the suggested piano nobile of the south front just for exterior cosmetic reasons - to give the Italian feel? You have said much about the Tudor rooms, but not a lot about the 18th century. Finally, could the lead image be just a little larger? Just a little more information and I think it is there, it would make a nice short FA, if you felt so inclined. Giano ( talk) 09:41, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
I noticed a comment in the GA review about the size of the lead image. What the MoS says is that if a thumbnail size is specified it should be at least the size of the maximum that can be set in user preferences, which is 300px. So I've increased the size of the lead image accordingly. -- Malleus Fatuorum ( talk) 13:30, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Comment. All the above points have been addressed. I hope this article is going to be reviewed according to the six Wikipedia:Good article criteria. Of these, most of the above comments have been, I think, under criterion 3 - "Broad in its coverage". It is not meant to be comprehensive; that would be for the article at the FA stage. I think its coverage is broad enough for GA, addresses the main topics, and is focused without unnecessary detail (otherwise I would not have submitted it). Peter I.
