Identity of staff member who was fired in August 2023
To add to this article: the name of the staff member who was fired on August 16, 2023 for stealing and selling artifacts in the collection of the British Museum. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 21:49, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is an ongoing police investigation and the name of the alleged perpetrator is not important for the history of the Museum. Wikipedia is not a news organisation. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 23:04, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Murgatroyd49 Hi, pushpin maps lack a lot of metadata, additionally they are not zoomable. For other museums like Louvre Museum, this method is applied correctly. You should compare it with other museums, not with map used for other London venues. Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 19:17, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's a London venue, other London museums have pushpin maps. To change it, it would be advisable to seek concensus from other editors involved. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 19:51, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
hello! I am a highschool student and this year i have to conduct a project on a chosen topic.
I chose for topic:
"Is the British Museum a continuation of the the British Empire?"
I need a 'source' who i can communicate with and conduct this project with .
The only criteria we have is that the person must belong to a country of the commonwealth.
Rest assured i will not harass you with questions i just need someone who is knowledgeable on the subject and can tell me what they think of it!! (Aswell as answer a few questions)!
level-4 vital article is rated B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
