styling of name of article/musuem (and other things)

1. there was a big article in NYTimes printed late edition on Wed., Nov. 26, 2008. i'm sure it's available behind the annoying big-brother "garden wall" at nytimes.com. the article might assist in expanding this stub.

2. in the newspaper article, the original name of the museum is provided as "Ypres Salient Museum." article not clear on when name change occurred but i inferred it is a relatively recent change. thus, i think wiki aricle should include mention of original name. perhaps museum's website (http://www.inflandersfields.be/) can clarify.

3. the current name in the newspaper article is styled "In Flanders Fields Museum" (with no possessive as styled in this wiki article). i'm not overly familiar with the "famous" poem In Flanders Fields, but the poem's wiki article is also styled without possesive. the museum's website itself (http://www.inflandersfields.be/) also has no possessive. the possessive is probably an errant typo. --98.116.115.220 (talk) 07:27, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
