Copyright problem
This article has been reverted by a bot to as part of a large-scale clean-up project of multiple article copyright infringement. (See the investigation subpage) This has been done to remove User:Accotink2's contributions as they have a history of extensive copyright violation and so it is assumed that all of their major contributions are copyright violations. Earlier text must not be restored, unless it can be verified to be free of infringement. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions must be deleted. Contributors may use sources as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously.

 * I reverted that revert. 1) It's not clear to me to which version the article was reverted; 2) the revert reverted several substantial and some formal improvements; 3) I read the two sources given for the section "The Museum Folkwang in the Nazi era" and couldn't find any obvious plagiarism – the section looks like a fair summary to me. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 07:48, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Marking for Cleanup
I am marking this article for cleanup - I hope I'm doing this right, since it's my first time marking an article for cleanup. The reason is the three empty sections: it looks like at some point in the past, someone was halfway through editing this article, then stopped before filling those sections out.

List of destroyed art works

 * In the end, approximately 5 000 works of art deemed unsaleable were burned.

Do we have a list of these works? Perhaps there are detailed records we can examine? Viriditas (talk) 02:16, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I suggest Folkwang Museum Association be merged here due to the lack of sourcing.  Kori das  talk?   00:26, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
 * "Lack of sourcing" is not a reason for merging – it needs to be addressed. Looking at de:Folkwang-Museumsverein, there is obvious potential for expansion of this article, but I also think there may be notabilitity issues for the English Wikipedia. So I agree for that reason to merge, until someone actually expands (and sources) it. If that happens, it might be split again. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 03:17, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
 * There seems little point in separating the museum and its "Friends of" association, even if de-Wiki has done so, in its highly elaborately detailed article. The history of the association closely parallels that of the museum, for obvious reasons, and such information as is useful on en-Wiki, which is not every single detail, can easily be incorporated into the museum article.Ingratis (talk) 12:57, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
