Hi Found5dollar -- do you think that the Memphis Rock N Soul museum "counts" as a Smithsonian museum? They say they were "created by the Smithsonian Institution". -- Cloud atlas ( talk) 04:26, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
Coming here to check this against the FL criteria. I see the original nominator, Found5dollar, is still active, so I'm listing out the things I'm noticing rather than taking it to WP:FLRC.
If these things are addressed, it should be possible to avoid going through a formal FLRC, or if you'd prefer to have an FLRC so that others can help address them and identify touch-ups to help keep this page in shape, I can create it. Best, {{u| Sdkb}} talk 02:34, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
Would you want to test out a map of all the museums, zoomed out to see New York, DC, and Chantilly? How would that display? Interested to see on a map where the other DC museums are, and Chantilly in relation to the DC ones... ɱ (talk) 00:40, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
There is a mixture of dates in the "Opened" column. For many, [note 1] indicates when they opened in their current building - but the other dates are a bit mixed. Several use the dates they were authorized by Congress, which is not necessarily the same as when their first exhibition opened - for exmaple, NMAAHC is listed as 2003 (authorized), but its first exhibit opened in 2007. NASM is listed as 1946 (authorized), but its first exhibitions could be argued as 1918 when the Aircraft Building opened. NMAfA is listed as 1964, which is indeed when Robbins opened his gallery, but it did not become a Smithsonian museum until 1979. I wonder if some consistency is in order - what dates make the most sense? Etoile ✩ ( talk) 21:51, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
