Split Article? edit
Clearly his article needs some work. I'm thinking this should really be one biographical article and a separate one for this collection. Of course that will leave use with TWO articles to clean up. Thoughts?RevelationDirect (talk) 13:16, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Merger proposal edit
- I propose that the information from this article on the Jones Collection be merged with information from University of Delaware Mineralogical Museum to create a new article on University Museums at the University of Delaware with sections on the Mechanical Hall, Mineralogical Museum and University Gallery. The biographical information about Jones (and about any of the artists profiled here who are notable in their own right) can be split off into separate biographical articles. --Dystopos (talk) 17:04, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
- Dystopos, that sounds fine to me. It actually leaves you with more work than my earlier suggestion of splitting this article in half because you'll need to write up a section on the University Gallery. As for the article title, I like University of Delaware Museums better because it doesn't have "University" twice. (Just a suggestion.)RevelationDirect (talk) 01:03, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- I'm ok with this as well, but I'd suggest ensuring that there are redirects for each of the museum names with their appropriate categories so that they show up in the correct type and locations. dm (talk) 01:48, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- RevelationDirect, I won't promise to do all the work myself, but if we can reach a consensus, then we and our fellow Wikipedians can more effectively collaborate. DM, that certainly sounds more natural, I was just trying to use the wording that the University uses. I'm not sure I know what you mean about categorization and redirects, but maybe you could help fill in my lapses? --Dystopos (talk) 03:42, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- I can get some photos the next time I'm down that way. And, if the article ever has so much great content that it's too long, we can always split it into 3 articles at that point.RevelationDirect (talk) 10:28, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
