Thank you Yusuftaguri, those are very helpful suggestions. Richard Nevell (talk) 11:08, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Size info on Fishbourne Roman Palace is wrong[edit]

The page says at 500 sq feet, the footprint is larger than Buckingham palace. My house is bigger than 500 sq feet, and Buckingham palace has over 800,000 sq feet (although that is across all its floors). Perhaps this should be 500,000 sq feet? Lawprof68 (talk) 03:54, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
