thread_title: Assessment comment

message: This page mingles the history of the museum as an institution and that of the building itself. Perhaps these should be split onto separate pages.? Leutha (talk) 10:41, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for your comment. Perhaps a split could be justified in the future, if the collection were to be rehoused elsewhere and the information about the building could then be made into a separate stub article. Meanwhile there is not enough wordage about the building to constitute another article. It is also worth considering that visitors to museum collections housed in historic buildings tend to view the combination of building and collection as the museum.

replies: text: There's very little about the building, so no need for a separate article at present. There's probably scope for an entire article about the Leeds Mechanic's Institute, tracing its history (did it predate the building?) but it's not here yet. PamD 08:07, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Institution or building

message: :*  Thanks. Have made some progress with Charles Reid (general), and added him to List of Knights Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath with the same image. PamD 18:30, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: * Thank you for expanding the Charles Reid page. Meanwhile I have re-photographed the tiger and updated the tiger photo in the draft article. You can see the rest of the new tiger photos here. The glass reflections and strong interior spotlighting were obstructive from every pov, but I made it all work to bring out the drama. Enjoy.

replies: text: * Update. I have added a slightly better image to the Charles Reid (army officer) commons category. Also I've added a useful link to the C.R. article's External links section. Storye book (talk) 19:32, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: * Thanks. If you update an image in an article, please remember to check for any "alt text" which might need to be updated! (The old version said "...showing damage where it was removed from an album..."). Fixed now. Thanks, anyway. PamD 22:29, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: * Sorry about that. I had originally politely moved your chosen image and all details to the infobox, then changed my mind and swapped it for the better one, and must have forgotten to remove the alt. It was an oversight - I wouldn't normally do that. Storye book (talk) 08:28, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: *The new image is unquestionably much better, of course. Well found, thanks. (The alt didn't need to be removed, just updated). PamD 11:33, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: * All is well. Good. Storye book (talk) 16:48, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Charles Reid article

message: Since somebody has red-linked Henry Crowther in the Leeds Tiger article - how about it? I have added a photo of him, and if you look at the image page you'll see his death date (for finding his obit). He was a really interesting chap and (in spite of the forty-bullocks shenanigans) he maybe did a lot less damage to the planet than Reid. I've got articles of my own cooking, but if anyone wants to start this one off, I'd be happy to give support. Good luck! Storye book (talk)
: That was me  - I redlinked to remind me! Lajmmoore (talk) 08:18, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  OK, good. I've got my eye on another picture of him (there may be more out there), and I have found a couple of newspaper biographies. When you start your draft, I'll add the links at the bottom of the page for you. Storye book (talk) 08:45, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Update. Here is Henry Crowther's commons category so far. I'll add more items if anything else turns up. Storye book (talk) 09:45, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
