Hi @schutzsmith! I like the pattern, but can we switch out the text so that it's less obviously placeholder? For this set of patterns in the directory, we've been trying to make them seem a bit more "lifelike" by avoiding lorem ipsum and other placeholder text. This way, when users see the preview, they see it as if it were a real section on a website. We've been tending to look to art, history, and nature as themes for the text.
@melchoyce or I can help take a pass at the copy too if that's helpful.
@kjellr Will update all my submissions today. Thanks!
@kjellr Updated with text from Wikipedia.
Thank you for the update! Is this text directly from Wikipedia? If so, I believe it would need attribution and isn't totally in the public domain or CC0. In general, we've been writing new copy ourselves, or pulling from something like public domain books.
Thanks!
Got help from @courtneydawn rephrasing the copy, so we don't need to worry about licensing:

Awesome. Looks good! When we add this to the directory, I suggest we change the light green text in the top area to white, since that will fit more nicely with themes other than Twenty Twenty-One. 👍
I was looking at this a little more, and what would you folks think of adding a little color and perhaps an image to this pattern? I think it could really help make this fit in with the other patterns in the pre-release collection a little better. Here's a quick pass:
I also trimmed the copy in the three columns just a little bit while I was in there.

Looks great!

(The buttons in particular look really bad in the preview, but that isn't an issue with the pattern itself)
A combination of a call to action and a three column layout, most widely known in design patterns as a "jumbotron".
