Might it be a good idea to create a template that lists all the different Smithsonian museums and other buildings, so that they all could appear on the museums' respective pages and allow for quick browsing?
In 2005 Smithsonian Press folded owing to financial and administrative ineptitude. Most authors (including me) were told nothing of the impending collapse, and some had to approach their congressmen to obtain the barest of facts. Thousands of unsold books were remaindered with no possibility of authors recovering royalties on those volumes. Clearly the regents and congress were asleep at the switch, and apparently there has been no accountability at any level. Lacking further contacts in the DC area, I cannot pursue the matter but it should be addressed in this article. How a government-funded business goes broke should make illuminating reading.
As I understand it, the Smithsonian has a document that gives suggested usage for museums. I was told about this by a (non-Smithsoniam) museum curator regarding the units for jet engine thrust. It might be that it is only available to museum curators, but I suspect not. I am interested in it, as it might also be useful for some questions related to WP pages, though not necessarily this one. I don't even know what to call it, which complicates doing a web search. Gah4 (talk) 10:19, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
