Fashion History Museum
Hi. I saw your edits to the article about Fashion History Museum. For the most part they seem constructive, but you changed some things without citing sources for the change. For example, the source that's being used in the history section says the post office was built in 1922, but you changed it to 1928. Do you have a source for 1928? Also, you removed the sentence about the clock; why? ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 17:48, 20 December 2016 (UTC) Kickshaw1984 (talk) 18:04, 20 December 2016 (UTC) The date was incorrect in that article. The date of 1929 is more correct and I have now cited that from another article. The building was actually built in 1928 and opened to the public in February 1929 (This is according to the local history museum information, but I can't cite that info.) Also, the replacement clock information was removed because the article was talking about the intent of the museum, but in reality the money for the clock was raised by the community and the work was coordinated by the building owner, not the museum. I don't have that cited anywhere so to be more correct I removed it. Kickshaw1984 (talk) 18:04, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok, that makes sense. I did see your later edit adding the source for 1929.  How come you can't cite information from the local history museum?  Citations don't have to be on-line; they can be to print-only books, magazines, etc., including signs in museums Cite sign is a useful template for providing citation information from signs in museums, historical markers, etc. As for the clock information, is there a way to rephrase it that would be more correct?  And do you have a source for the 2017 exhibits? I don't doubt you, but I'd like to keep the article well sourced in preparation for its appearance on the main page.  Obviously, I'd also like it to also be correct for its appearance on the main page. ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 18:12, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Kickshaw1984 (talk) 19:53, 20 December 2016 (UTC) I will get that cite about the clock and date - I just have to find a reputable source. Have added a link to the museum's facebook page that outlines its exhibitions for next yearKickshaw1984 (talk) 19:53, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
