Merging

I think that Museum of Natural History should stay and Natural history museum should just redirect to Natural History Museum - the London museum which is the only one to have that official name. I've added to that page a disambiguating link back to Museum of Natural History, which should be used for lists of museums (as it already is) and hopefully expanded for more general articles around the subject, such as preservation of exhibits, history, role in research and conservation etc. Any objections?

I agree with User:Loxlie that Natural history museum should redirect to Natural History Museum - the idea of a natural history museum in general is more of a dictionary definition than an encyclopedic idea. However, I would suggest renaming *this* article to List of Natural History Museums to obey WP:LIST naming guidelines. It's been 2 months now with this tag, I'm going to put these suggestions into place now. --└ Smith120bh/TALK ┐ 18:07, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
