References

I can't seem to get the references listed in the References Section, anyone help?--81.106.79.133 11:14, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Peacocky sentence

I have removed this sentence:

"The Wallace Collection sits favourably amongst a group of private collections, primarily European, which include; The Royal Collection, as the greatest private collection in the world, Waddesdon Manor, the Bowes Museum, Herrenchiemsee, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Frick Collection and the Liechtenstein Museum."

This serves no purpose but to puff the collection. Sits favourably? What does that mean. Is this a list of private collections? If so, then we should just put a link in the "see also" section to a list of private collections. Just listing these names serves no real purpose. It was claimed that the facts are not in dispute; I don't see any facts to dispute, just a list of vaguely explained names. Why pick (only) these? This list smacks of original research. --Eyrian 16:27, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Literary allusions

The Wallace collection comes up in loads and loads of novels, particularly; I'm thinking most obviously of Iris Murdoch and Anthony Powell but I'm certain there are tons of others. Someone should make a section on this and if no one else does I will in a longish time

Arms and armour

No mention is made of the extensive collection of weapons which fill the ground floor.--KTo288 (talk) 17:25, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

The Wallace Collection → Wallace Collection – No need for the definite article, per WP:THE Ham 22:35, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Oppose Their website shows that 'The' is used in the logo and apart of the official name. -- ] 22:58, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
But that's also true of the British Museum and the National Gallery, and note the titles of their articles. Also, the Wallace don't use it in their URL. Ham 10:41, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
Oppose Always part of their name. Johnbod (talk) 03:23, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
This list of public bodies from the Cabinet Office refers to it as the ‘Wallace Collection’ with no definite article. Ham 10:41, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
