Suggested update to Growth and Renovations section

edit

Hi - I would like to suggest a change to the Growth and Renovations section of the Corning Museum of Glass article. The last sentence in the section currently states "The North Wing expansion is slated to open in 2014." The wing is now called the Contemporary Art + Design Wing, and it will open March 20, 2015. (see this UrbanGlass article and this page on the CMoG website). I work at the Corning Museum of Glass and would like to avoid a conflict of interest. Would someone else be able to approve the change and/or update the sentence? Thanks in advance! extabulis (talk) 20:07, 28 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Additional independent sources include this Star-Gazette article and this article from The Art Newspaper. extabulis (talk) 20:14, 28 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
I updated the expected completion date, but didn't add the long winded wing-name. CorporateM (Talk) 01:42, 11 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, CorporateM! Instead of adding the full name, would you mind changing "North Wing expansion" to "new wing" or "new contemporary wing"? Both of those are more accurate than North Wing. extabulis (talk) 18:38, 11 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
  Done I'm fine with that. CorporateM (Talk) 18:43, 11 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
Thanks very much! extabulis (talk) 19:44, 11 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

"Notes" section

edit

Hi

What on earth is this section? It is not notes from the body of text, as there is nothing to link them.

Is this really just external links, or some weird section for adverstising? Chaosdruid (talk) 12:01, 10 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Chaosdruid, looks to me like this was part of an edit from a user with a close connection to the topic. At least some of the sources also appear in the references section. I'd vote to incorporate any sources that are useful as references, then delete this section. extabulis (talk) 14:53, 29 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
extabulis, well I've made a start - turned some of them into external links, removed dead ones, converted the first to match the external links format, amalgamated them into the section and removed the "Notes" section.
I have to go for now, will try and remember to get back to this at the weekend ... Chaosdruid (talk) 17:42, 30 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Editing style and tone - removal of info

edit

Hi. I'm a new editor and am wondering if it is cool to just remove the sections/info that state the names of different galleries? It seems like that section is only designed to give props to donors, rather than tell you much about the museum itself. How frowned upon is deletion within an article?
