Reversion to an earlier, referenced version

[edit]

I was amazed, an hour or so ago, when I discovered this article. I'm incapable of remaining polite about it. I'd say that it's written in pure art-corporate bullshit.

I was more amazed to glance in its history and learn that I'd been a contributor to this mess (in 2014). Ah, but in 2018 it was radically altered by an editor with the interesting name of "Walthercoll".

I propose to revert it to the state it was in immediately preceding the intervention by "Walthercoll". Its most recent revision had been by 14GTR. Its most vigorous editor since "Walthercoll" has been "Katniss2008", who has come to a sticky end; but perhaps Rathfelder or Lopifalko (or of course anyone else) would like to comment. -- Hoary (talk) 23:42, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

PS I've just noticed that this article was originally created by "WaltherNewYork": his/her/their only edit before being blocked (for the impermissible username) by Daniel Case. -- Hoary (talk) 01:22, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Go right ahead ... I'll block Walthercoll too, if they haven't already been blocked. Daniel Case (talk) 01:45, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Daniel Case, having expressed myself (above) on this article in a way that arguably does not befit an administrator, I'd better recuse myself from any administrative actions hereabouts. So all I'll say is "Don't let me stop you." -- Hoary (talk) 05:02, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have blocked Walthercoll, who in any case hadn't edited for over two years. Daniel Case (talk) 05:08, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, revert back to the point described, thus switching polarities between one extreme and another. -Lopifalko (talk) 05:49, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done! -- Hoary (talk) 13:39, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The name of this institution reminds me of that of the Wallace Collection, to which The Wallace Collection is, properly, a mere redirect. I propose moving this article to "Walther Collection". Any objections? -- Hoary (talk) 01:22, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done! (Rather obviously.) -- Hoary (talk) 13:39, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
