It would be good to have something in the article about the notorious thefts of the 1980's: http://www.rte.ie/radio1/doconone/radio-documentary-chester-beatty-islamic-art-david-jame.html --Rudolphs revenge (talk) 12:37, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Museum or Library?

[edit]

Chester Beatty now calls itself a 'museum', not just a library: https://chesterbeatty.ie/about/ It seems the entry title should be modified. Thanks. --Malekfarugh (talk) 00:35, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Chester Beatty LibraryChester Beatty – The Chester Beatty Library is now referred to just as the Chester Beatty, and the article reflects that. Chester Beatty currently redirects to Alfred Chester Beatty, the museum/library's founder, but I believe this should be changed, as the institution would seem to be the slightly more primary topic, given current usage. The article does receive marginally more page views. Paul_012 (talk) 16:44, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have just removed from External links the handlists of Arabic manuscripts not currently working as it says they are being redeveloped. In my opinion even when redeveloped they are not something for Wikipedia, but rather for the Chester Beatty's own website. What do others think?Aineireland (talk) 22:14, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
