message: i'm pretty sure the "footprints" of Rocky are still in place at the museum, at least as of august 2005.  if they're not there anymore, the date of the move would be helpful. --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.85.108.242 (talk • contribs)

message: "although the institution has no galleries devoted to Greek, Roman or Egyptian art."
SO WHAT? Why on earth is this retarded line included in this "article"? What did you expect to find in an American Institution? You do realize that Greek Roman and Egyptian Art are finite resources. Despite being plundered by many countries there is no reason to expect to find such art on a CONTINENT never visited by Egyptians, Greeks or Romans as far as history records.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.149.141.27 (talk) 17:40, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There are many art museums in North America which contain Greek, Roman, and/or Egyptian art.  Right in Philadelphia there's the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, which has a large Egyptian collection.  In other cities there's the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Getty Villa, the Royal Ontario Museum, the Walters Art Museum, the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, the University of Chicago Oriental Institute, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Cleveland Museum of Art, all of which have galleries devoted to the subject.  It's not ridiculous to note that the PMA doesn't have such a gallery - it is a notable omission. john k (talk) 16:34, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

text: I tend to agree with 86.149.141.27 in saying that I don't necessarily see the need for the line, but of course, I would only advocate for taking it out if it were agreed upon by consensus. U21980 (talk) 00:56, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: WTF??

message: "The statue was returned to the steps for the filming of Rocky V, and also appears there in the movies Philadelphia and Mannequin, but has since been removed. The statue was replaced with a simple set of footprints reading "Rocky." The statue was returned to the foot of the steps on September 8, 2006."
"has since been removed"  and "was returned"  So which is it? Is it so hard to get this right? 100% Wikiality.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.149.141.27 (talk) 17:44, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Useful source 

message: Hi PMA fans!  I wanted to update you about some recent events related to our fantastic Museum. I met Jessica Milby, PMA Collections Information Project Manager, at Wikimania in July. Jessica was looking for ways to improve articles on Wikipedia about the Museum and its artists/collections. We followed up a few weeks later at the Perelman Building in downtown Philadelphia where we discussed ways to increase participation in the GLAM/PMA project.  
*The first idea is to do some outreach to the GLAM:PMA project members, including mass messages updating you all about plans and, seeking feedback about new ideas, and hearing your thoughts about what's in the works.  
*The next step is a drive to improve the main Philadelphia Museum of Art article.  The article is currently 'B-Class', but Jessica was confident that with the abundance of high quality sources about the Museum that it could be improved even further.  Jessica recommended this extensive source from the Museum's website.
*Another idea that came out of the meeting was a project within the Museum to assess which PMA-related topics are missing articles on Wikipedia.  
*One of Jessica's ideas is to have the knowledgeable curators of the Museum provide recommended reading lists for PMA-related articles.  That should be a great first step to guiding editors towards the information they need to expand and improve that content.  
*Also raised for discussion were some ideas about how to engage the broader community.  There is interest in setting up a tour/edit-a-thon, but this remains in the preliminary stage.  Would you be interested in participating in such an event?
* We have new stats!  These 24 articles are all under the PMA project.  I compiled the last 90-day page views and then annualized the results.  PMA-related articles get almost 800,000 view per year!

It's exciting to have a partner in Jessica Milby and there should be a lot of good work coming out the collaboration within the next 3-6 months.  Please stop by the GLAM/PMA project page and leave your thoughts.  What ideas do you have?  How can we move forward on the above projects?  I Hope you're all well.  Cheers!
