Hello! During late June, July and some of August, I'm working on a paid project sponsored by the National Trust to review and enhance coverage of NT sites. You can find the pilot 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) 15:50, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
In response to this discussion on my talk page, I've been signposted by the pilot manager to two NT articles, which might be useful to expand sections of the article:
I'm not sure there is capacity in this pilot, but I hope the sources are useful for other editors. Lajmmoore ( talk) 09:32, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
I’m undertaking a bit of an expansion to the article. Not yet sure as to the extent of this, but I intend to cover the links to colonialism and historic slavery, and its recent appearances in the ongoing culture wars, as well as a more traditional focus on the building’s history and architecture. I appreciate that aspects of this may be somewhat controversial and will, of course, be pleased to discuss any aspect of the expansion here. KJP1 ( talk) 12:04, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
@ KJP1: B class. Excellent article. You are on your honor to fix the introduction sentences listed below. The introduction is not usually cited because it summarizes the article. However, the introduction should only contain material that is included and cited in the article. Djmaschek ( talk) 03:56, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Thanks very much for picking this up, and for the prompt and helpful review. I hope I've addressed all but one of the concerns. The issue is Slate and Strikes, both in the lead, and in the body. What I was trying to do here, as with Slavery, was to write an article about a house that gave greater consideration to its context than I normally do. I thought Penrhyn would be a good place to try this out, firstly because it is so striking an example; "there is no building which illustrates so graphically the role which slave plantation profits played in the growth of British economic power"; and secondly because the house achieved some prominence during the NT's culture wars episode. In the time I've been writing buildings articles on here, I've come to think that we, myself included, do underplay the social/economic context in which they were created and existed. Penrhyn, and the life that its lords led there, were made possible by their profits from slaves and slate. I think there are strong, implicit, links between these two aspects and I've tried to make them a bit more explicit in the article. Very happy to discuss, of course, but I hope this makes clearer what I was trying to achieve. KJP1 ( talk) 14:18, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
