Done. Good ideas. We're still lacking something for Coins and medals though... I think we should go live with this as it currently stands - it's clearly an improvement on the existing one. And then continue to edit the new live version. You'll note I've added in a redlink to a "list of trustees" which is, though not preferable, not a reason not to launch this new version.

Yes. I'd don't know about coins & medals - everything they have was originally a multiple, & coin articles are mostly on pretty general types. It's the prints issue in spades, as they don't even have the individual drawings P&D do, with odd exceptions of unique items. Johnbod (talk) 22:21, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll ask them on Monday, if I remember. Otherwise, at worst we could move coins to the "other" section although them mightn't like that :-) Either way - can we launch this? Witty Lama 22:50, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, launch in progress... Fæ (talk) 22:54, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please raise any further discussion on the main talk page as this sandbox is likely to be re-cycled at some point. Fæ (talk) 22:58, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
