A summary of what needs to be changed to this article to make it more effective
This Wikipedia page is lacking a lot of information. The first sentence states that "A teddy bear museum is a museum about teddy bears. There are many teddy bear museums around the world." and there's a lot more you can add to it such as what about teddy bears does the museum present and where around the world are there more teddy bear museums. It should have hyperlinks to other teddy bear museums to back up the statement that there's "more museums around the world". The picture of the teddy bear museum in Tateshina has no connection to the article because there is no mention of it and doesn't support any evidence stated in the article. It states Judy Sparrow was the founder of the Teddy Bear Museums but there is no citation to her page to support that she was the founder. It says she "housed a collection of antique teddy bears and related items.". What other "related items" were stored in her museum? Some recommendations to this article is too add more details to make it a more reliable web page. In the first paragraph there should be a story of the origins of the Teddy Bear museums stating where the first one was, how did it get there, who made it, and what was the importance of creating it. The body paragraphs should state the "many" other Teddy Bear museums around the world and how they originated. Even add some pictures of the museums itself and some teddy bears that were in them.

In the opening paragraph it jumps to the conclusion that the museums closed in 2006 and that statement should be more towards the end of the article. It should answer the questions such as: Why did they close down, who closed it, and where did the objects go. Overall this article has a lot of potential but the creator of this page didn't take any time in developing this article. It needs to be restructured into a more organized, and more detailed article with citations to back up its information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Panajungla21 (talk • contribs) 19:14, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
