I have added material on the Lunar society link and the enlightenment, but intend to improve this when I have gathered more facts together. The absence of any material on Herbert Spencer is a personal issue of mine, which I have taken up with the museum. While I suspect that some may regard my comment here as original research, the absence is a simple fact which may be of interest to others researching Spencer. -- Memestream ( talk) 14:28, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
Some is OR I suspect. Erasmus wasn't living in Derby until 1783 when he reformed the Derby Philosophical Society. All the Orrery stuff predated him by about 20 years. Victuallers ( talk) 00:50, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
This article seems to be too much about the Lunar Society. 1858 swa the creation of a 4000 book collection from Derby Philosophical Society.... not the Lunar Society Victuallers ( talk) 12:38, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
Why is this picture included here? Yes, it is by Wright of Derby, but the painting is not in Derby Museum's collections, unlike The Orrery. So its inclusion seems a bit misleading. Parkywiki ( talk) 23:30, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
I was disappointed to find I had missed a meeting between Wikipedia editors and Museum staff at Derby library and surprised to find that collaboration was in progress without any clear announcement to that effect on this page. While there is a page on GLAM/Derby, I did not look at it because it is notactually mentioned on this talk page. There is a sentence which say "This article is related to the Derby Museum and Art Gallery" - yes I know that! It does not say "there is a specific project on the Derby Museum and Art Gallery called GLAM/Derby (jargon!) that you need to take a look at"! I do not believe it is acceptable for discussions relating to an article to be taking place on a project page without anything being said on the talk page - projects exist as options for those who CHOOSE to collaborate over groups of articles but should surely not take all discussion away from the talk pages of the articles themselves to the extent we see here. I see that references to the meeting, and video, exist on the web outside of Wikipedia:
It would seem a good idea to link here to such highly relevant pages in future. Memestream ( talk) 22:29, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
Somebody will be able add the near "public transit" of Museum with i.e google maps. isn't there information about area and visitors of museum? You may add, too.-- KRLS ( talk) 12:17, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
The reference for "Derby museum has over 300 of Wright's sketches, 34 oil paintings, and documents."[6] does not fit, it tells something about the closure of the building but not about "hard facts". Are there any additional sources for the collections? I cannot find it on the website, and it would be much better to name the correct numbers instead of repeating marketing superlatives („important and attractive“…). However, I would prefer to get the information from a proper source instead just translating it from here. Thanks -- elya ( talk) 14:12, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
The work that Derby Museum has done with QRpedia codes is incredible. Great work, guys! Happy Wikimania. LoriLee ( talk) 06:14, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
