Talk:Canadian Museum of History

message: If any part of Gatineau could be also said to be in Ottawa, I think this is it. The categories certainly seem to bear this out.
However, how do we keep this distinction clear to casual visitors? I doubt anyone will suddenly be looking for this on the south side of the river, but I think accuracy needs a hand here.

thread_title: Not in Ottawa, but...

message: I doubt that the person who applied the Cleanup Gallery tag even read or comprehended this article – as a typical reader myself, I'm very glad to see these 5 more views of the Museum.  To that person:  please keep the readers in mind.  I'm sure at least 90% of readers would vote to be able to view the main visitor entrance to the galleries, for instance.  These 5 views are certainly not "random images" as the tag calls them.
Someone who knows more about images on WP than I do (ie, I'm ignorant about WP image stuff), please remove this ridiculous tag – ridiculous from the point of view of an average reader.  In my opinion, the tag just makes Wikipedia (WP) look laughable to the average reader.    For7thGen (talk) 21:09, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: WP:IG does not say that you can't have multiple views of a subject in a gallery, but rather that the gallery have a theme and be organized, much the same way the text of the article is.  A gallery should be more than just an indiscriminate collection of images of the subject.  I will take a shot at improving this one. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 13:26, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Please remove the "Cleanup Gallery" tag 

message: I think this very high quality image should be used somewhere in the article. It is really eye-catching. I was considering to replace the infobox image with this one, but I am in doubt, as the current photo shows a larger fraction of the entire building. On the other hand, this photo is much more appetizing and immediately draws the attention of the viewer. Thoughts? --Slaunger (talk) 22:00, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Good suggestion. The current image is of poor quality. Do it. Dger (talk) 03:25, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that :File:Gatineau - QC - Museum of Civilisation3.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on August 29, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-08-29. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! —howcheng  {chat} 16:53, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Most people will have heard that the museum is to be renamed the "Canadian Museum of History".  Although I am not saying what most editors on this article do not already know, the name change has not yet actually occurred.  The change will apparently require a bill to be enacted by Parliament to amend the Museums Act.  Until such time as the name change has actually officially occurred, the title of this article, and the references to the museum name in the body of the article, should remain at "Canadian Museum of Civilization" (mind you, and now I am really stating the obvious, the article can obviously refer to the anticipated name change).  Can everyone keep an extra eye on the article during this interim period, in the event an over-eager contributor in good faith jumps the gun?  In the event that the museum itself starts using the new name ahead of the legislative change, we may have to reconsider our timing in light of WP:COMMONNAME.  However, we can deal with that issue at that time if it ever arises. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 17:00, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Can't.  The redirect is tagged.  I could have asked an Admin to move it, but it occurred to me that someone could potentially take issue with the name change, given that the museum has yet to shift over its website, etc.  I thought it best to be overly cautious and avoid the type of  dispute that occurred when the Bay changed its name to Hudson's Bay. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 17:56, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
