I appreciate the use of {{Request edit}} here, but I can't make any specific change; the info is here on the talk page for others. Otherwise, you could make specific suggestions, and I could consider them. But I cannot work on a generic 'please expand it', as an edit request. Sorry.  Chzz  ►  23:47, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Short description

@GhostInTheMachine: I edited the short description, but you reverted the change. My intention was to remove a term ("Grade 1 listed") which does not conform with WP:SDJARGON as it may not be readily comprehensible to readers who do not understand the UK concept of listing. You may or may not wish to reconsider, but I don't think your description of my edit as "non-constructive" is reasonable. Bazza (talk) 21:17, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Anything that happened more than a week ago could be seen as "historic" in some contexts, but Grade 1 listed is a well defined term rather than jargon — GhostInTheMachine ^{talk to me} 21:35, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Me, I'd say "17th-century mansion in Outer London". People know where London is, but this must be c. 15 miles from dead centre, & of course was pretty rural when it was built. Johnbod (talk) 03:57, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
