In the following weeks, I will begin a significant overhaul of the Charles Lang Freer page. Through my research, I have found several instances where the wikipedia conflicts with information available through research.

Style and neutrality
Definitely some style problems in this article. Example: "The boy who left school to work in a cement factory ultimately presented the United States its very first collection of Fine Art." Reads like promotional material written by an admirer, not an encyclopedia article. There are similar examples throughout. 121.45.80.53 (talk) 09:41, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
