The title "The Military Museums" is not clear enough and is too general for WP; many locations have military museums (e.g. Kingston, Ont. and dozens of other locations worldwide). Even "The Military Museums of Calgary" or "The Military Museums (Calgary)" would be better (if there is going to be more than one museum). I would suggest that to avoid confustion, the proper name for the new museum be used, whatever that will be (lets be specific rather than general). In the meantime, I would stick with "The Museum of the Regiments" with a paragraph or section explaining that the museum is being amalgamated with some other museums, that renovations are proceeding, and that the name will likely change.

Umm...the name HAS changed, and had changed on 5 Jun when we both posted. ;-) Michael Dorosh 14:55, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

You are of course correct, the name did formally change in June. I also thought for some reason that the new name was going to be The Calgary Military Museum. BrianC 16:45, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

The new name has chutzpah that's for sure...sort of like the British Army amalgamating the Queen's Own Highlanders with the Gordons and calling them "The Highlanders", as if they were the only Highland regiment in the world. Go figure.Michael Dorosh 18:48, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
