Proposed merge of Shadow box into Display case[edit]

A shadow box does not seem sufficiently distinct from a display case to justify a separate article. Even the companies that sell shadow boxes list them as "shadow box or display case". Recommend a merger. Apocheir (talk) 21:34, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced "superstition"[edit]

The "Use in the United States Military" section was imported from Shadow box and cites only a store page from 2013. I've been unable to find a source from before 2013 that references it or the superstition about shadows as a seafaring tradition and the sources I have found from the turn of the 20th century only describe ordinary display cases. I'm beginning to see the "legend" spread from this article, including to a book about a modern military career written in 2018 that prefaces it with "as I understand it". With citogenesis imminent, I'm removing the last two paragraphs until someone can locate a better source. Unsurprisingly (talk) 15:47, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
