Thanks for finding the source. I suspected the claims were a hoax, but every now and then some odd claim made by an anonymous editor turns out to be correct, like in this case. I am glad to hear that you will clean up this article. Thanks. Rl 19:47, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
Art portal features
I'm so glad to see your input, Ham! Presently, there is no process to changing Art portal features. Please change the portal page whenever you want to. It could use some attention from someone besides myself. If lots of people were involved with the portal, a process would probably evolve. The project Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts is related to the portal, but the project is moving slowly. --sparkit (talk) 14:11, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
Re: British Museum
I have no particular side in the argument, nor do I wish to impose a POV on that section, I merely found it wordy:
"the expertise and desire to preserve the items are now more widespread"
"The debate over the legitimacy of the British Museum's claims over many of its artifacts continues, with the Museum claiming an inalienable right to hold them under British law, and critics accusing it of theft and inconsiderateness"
Any sentence that has to use "inconsiderateness" can be cleaned up. Is there any way it can be cleaned up and retain the NPOV? It just is awkward and wordy.
