Reason for "Citation Needed"?

Hi PaulinSaudi -- thanks for checking out the article and adding the "Citation Needed" template. I just wanted to ask: the source for the facts in that sentence you tagged is cited at the end of the next sentence. Since that whole paragraph's source is the same, I thought it was sufficient to cite it once at the end of the paragraph. Should I be thinking about this differently? Thank you. -- Cloud atlas (talk) 16:15, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

Good afternoon, I am sure I made some simple mistake. Please fix it as you find best. (By the way, I like your username very much.)''Paul, in Saudi'' (talk) 08:55, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

"Glenstone" or "Glenstone Museum"

Hi Boberger -- thanks for working on this article! I see that you changed the title to "Glenstone Museum", and I just wanted to ask you about that decision. I considered including "Museum" in the title when I first created the article, but I decided not to for a few reasons:

• All the sources, such as this one, only say "Glenstone" and omit "Museum".
• The museum's website just calls it "Glenstone".
• I was modeling the article off of the one for The Broad, which does not have "Museum" in its title.

Do you think that including "Museum" is a better practice? I also asked for advice here at WikiProject Museums. Let me know! -- Cloud atlas (talk) 16:20, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

Just to follow up on this, after some conversation with Fuzheado, we've moved the page back to "Glenstone". -- Cloud atlas (talk) 16:28, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Thar's all right with me. I've some examples of "Glenstone Museum" from earlier years, but I've also noticed that the Museum itself seems to promote "The Glenstone". Boberger (talk) 22:10, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Edits to landscaping

Hello Pwplandscape -- welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for trying to help on the Glenstone article. From your username, it looks like you might have an association with PWP Landscape Architecture, so I wanted to point out some of the guidelines on what we call "conflict of interest" editing, which means editing on topics related to yourself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest. One way to do that is to disclose on the talk page of the article (this page) that you have a conflict of interest. Another way is to post on this talk page about changes you think should be made, and another editor can evaluate and make (or not make) those changes. In the case of your most recent edit, I removed some (like the sentence from the lead and the reference to Adam Greenspan) and kept others (like the reference to PWP Landscape Architecture). Please let me know if you have any other ideas or questions. You can reply by editing this page and adding your response under mine, and then publishing. -- Cloud atlas (talk) 03:44, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Citation: Michael Heizer’s colossal desert sculpture readies for its public debut
Section to Edit: History
Spot where to add the fact: In July 2021, Glenstone announced a purpose-built expansion to house Richard Serra's large-scale sculpture Four Rounds: Equal Weight, Unequal Measure (2017) that the museum had acquired from the artist. The building, designed by Thomas Phifer, the architect of the Pavilions, was created in consultation with Serra to fit the acquired piece. The expansion opened in 2022.[18][19]
