No Logo?

This is beyond my paltry abilities as a Wikipedian, but I think there should be a logo (preferably svg) in the sidebar just like there is for the Met, the Louvre, and other major museums. Mpaniello (talk) 20:14, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Delisted. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:09, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article has some wonderful prose. Unfortunately, it also has some uncited sections, including entire paragraphs. Some of the uncited text has been marked with "citation needed" since August 2020 and August 2022. While some citations were added earlier this year, there is still some work to be done. Hopefully, this GAR will bring additional editors who will help fill in the missing references needed. I also think the "21st-century" section needs a review to remove the non-notable information and merge the short paragraphs together: a subject-matter expert would be helpful here to evaluate the information for its notability.

The 21st century section is very well cited, as is the entire page. Not only does this rate its 'good article' status, it should be promoted to a feature. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:53, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

there's still uncited text, and this should not be taken to FA status without it being fixed. 750 h+ 15:45, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Renumbering of rooms

Commons is the site where the 110 million photos used in the Wikipedia sites of the various languages are hosted.
I created Commons:Category:Musée du Louvre by room name and Commons:Category:Musée du Louvre by room number to facilitate the search of rooms: by name or by number. Indeed, until now, one could only search for a room by its number within a department of the Louvre.--Tangopaso (talk) 16:21, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
