Drexel Collection

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that the Drexel Collection, a collection of over 6,000 volumes of books about music and musical scores owned by The New York Public Library, was donated by Joseph W. Drexel?

• Article looks good with regard to new-ness, length and policy. The hook is of the proper length and formatting, but is rather uninteresting, in my opinion. (The Drexel Collection was donated by a man named Drexel? Who'd have guessed?!?) It might be better to leave off the last part and just say:

• ALT1 - ... that the Drexel Collection is a collection of over 6,000 volumes of books about music and musical scores owned by The New York Public Library?

• Otherwise, everything looks good. Hook source and all other offline sources are being taken on AGF. Dana boomer (talk) 11:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Agree with Dana boomer that Alt 1 sounds better.Ayanosh (talk) 13:53, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
