James Rhind

[edit]

Although primarily working in Scotland, James Rhind did do some commissions south of the border. Can anyone verify that the Rhind mentioned by Pevsner in this article is indeed the Rhind that I have linked? - Sitush (talk) 03:37, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Visitor numbers

[edit]

This site purports to show visitor numbers by year. However, if you go to Sudley you will discover that there is no obvious means of counting visitors. It is free entry and the area immediately inside the entrance, where an information desk is sited, quite often has no official or volunteer in situ. There is no ticket system, no obvious CCTV, and not everyone who visits goes into the building itself. I've no idea from where the site does derive its figure but presumably it is some sort of extrapolation done by National Museums Liverpool. - Sitush (talk) 05:31, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ALVA don't seem to give any detail on their website about how members derive their visitor figures but ALVA's figures seem to be good enough to be used for many other UK museums & visitor attractions. I don't see how using them in the article isn't valid.LicenceToCrenellate (talk) 10:26, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Used by whom? Wikipedia contributors? If so, how many of those cites did you add? And how many of the other museums have a similar extremely relaxed entry protocol? - Sitush (talk) 12:53, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, Wikipedia contributors. Take a look for yourself. I've seen instances of the ALVA figures being used from 2012, they're the standard figures used by the industry and are what all the major UK visitor attractions listed on Wikipedia have used for visitor numbers.LicenceToCrenellate (talk)
