Resources and additions needed to expand this from a stub[edit]

Number one; References. Can certainly use the website for now, but Wikipedia prefers secondary sources; these don't have to be heavy reference works, for a local museum, this can be a notice in the local paper, blurbs on other websites, references on artists' sites, etc. Until there are references, it isn't really a WP article, and is in danger of deletion.

Two; Graphics. Usually the problem with graphics is copyright, which WP has to take seriously. If there is a problem with copyright, but there are, for instance, photos on a sharing site like Flickr, as long as the disclaimer says it is free, use those for now. --Anonymous209.6 (talk) 13:35, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Writing and content needs to approach encyclopedic style[edit]

There is a certain overuse of promotional words; some are OK, but usually only if attributed (to some source NOT from RMFA). Article should have much more DESCRIPTION of the collections, the space, the concepts behind the museum (sounded from some sources as a "museum without walls", but in other as just still arranging its space). History of the initiative, particularly if documented, would be useful, as would listings of exhibits, and a breakdown of the types and categories of holdings; that tells the reader what the museum is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anonymous209.6 (talk • contribs) 13:32, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
