The article on the town King's Lynn#St George's Guildhall has more information about the Guildhall than this article about the Guildhall... --Anvilaquarius (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 10:49, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

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 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) 15:17, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

Article development

I think this article rather undersells the notability of the guildhall. Largest extant guildhall / oldest theatre / only one where Shakespeare played. It’s also rather cite-lite. Have given it a bit of a brush-up, but there’s a great deal more that should be done. KJP1 (talk) 07:38, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Copyvio?

Our article-

"Following the Dissolution of the Guilds in 1547 the Guildhall became the property of Lynn Corporation, who owned it until 1814. It served as the ‘Common Hall’ [meaning Public], as well as a court house, merchants’ exchange, French school, and even an armoury and gunpowder store in the 1640s. In 1704 there was an unsuccessful attempt to open a button factory for the unemployed."

"Following the Dissolution of the Guilds in 1547 the Guildhall became the property of Lynn Corporation, who owned it until 1814. It served as the ‘Common Hall’ (meaning Public), as well as a court house, merchants’ exchange, French school, and even an armoury and gunpowder store in the 1640s. In 1588 it was a court, French school and theatre in the same year. In 1704 there was an unsuccessful attempt to open a button factory for the unemployed."

There are other examples. I think quite a lot of this has been lifted, and needs a re-write. It's possible the lift is the other way...? Although the editor adding the bulk of the text has a CV warning on their Talkpage. KJP1 (talk) 06:17, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

The more one goes through, the clearer it is that virtually the whole thing is a copyvio lift. KJP1 (talk) 08:24, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
