Hello,

My name is Brian Russell and I am the Chief Webmaster at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. It has been brought to my attention that there are some factual errors and outdated information on the Wikipedia page for the Museum.

I submit these correction here in hopes that a Wikipedia editor could look over them and consider making these changes. There are more changes than the ones I've provided bellow but I'm still looking for neutral sources to cite them.

I fully respect the Wikipedia community values and hope to abide by them. If you have any questions for me please let me know. I will check back at this Talk page.

Thank you!

“Fourth floor” section – Naturalist Center is now in the new Nature Research Center on the second floor. Source: http://naturalsciences.org/nature-research-center/naturalist-center

"The Nature Research Center is a new 80,000 sq ft (7,400 m2), three-story wing across the street from the current museum."

The Nature Research Center is on Jones Street in Raleigh just like the Main Museum. Both buildings are connected to each other by a sky bridge across Salisbury Street which is perpendicular to both buildings. It is formally called the Betsy M. Bennett Bridge named for the Museum's former Director. I hope a clarification will help visitors find us more easily. Here are a few pictures of the bridge that connects the buildings.

"across the street"

As BrianYesh pointed out, the sentence saying that the Research Center is across the street from the Science museum is misleading, although technically correct. I'm amending it to say "next to," but I thought I should leave a comment here in case someone has a more clear way to describe the relative location.

I saw this comment only after I'd done some editing on this article. As part of that editing, I – coincidentally – changed the wording back to "across the street". The problem with the former wording is that it implies that the two buildings are on the same block, which is not the case and is more confusing IMO. I think their relative locations are clear now, since the article says the buildings are connected by a breezeway. — Molly-in-md (talk) 15:31, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
