Welcome

Hello and thanks for stopping by the Museums Project, which was launched in mid-March, 2008. We've had to archive some of the initial discussion due to talk page length, but a complete index of all archived topics is available. In the mean time, the following topics may help you:

Assessment, the assessment guidelines for the project. Please feel free to propose changes if you think they're required
Requested Articles, if you feel like working on a new article
Expansion Needed, these stubs have been created, but require expansion
To Do, the project's to-do list, that includes everything except article creation and expansion requests

Please always feel free to start a new topic and don't worry if it may have been discussed before. New discussion is a good thing.

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

In the museum's article, Under the heading Selected works in the collection, we display 31 images. That seems like too many, and I suggest that we weed it down to 2 dozen or less. The question is, which ones are the least important/representative ones shown? Or should we just eliminate ones where the artist is represented by two or more images? Please respond on the museum article's Talk page. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:29, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of if 31 is considered too many, it would seem in this case that having artists with more than one work in the “Selected works in the collection” would be a disservice, by failing to show the breadth of the collection. Myotus (talk) 03:19, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion about WikiProject banner templates

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

"This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.
