I changed the two refs as requested.E. S. V. Leigh (talk) 03:16, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I added some information about how William was given his name. He actually was not "informally named" by museum visitors; there was an article with the name in 1931 and it stuck. I've added links to the article, the Met's republication of it, literature from the Met that confirms it, and a NY Times article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.92.107.41 (talk) 01:02, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Photo in Met CC0 release

[edit]

FYI to anyone interested in this article, there is a terrific photo of William in the Met's recent dump of CC0 images. I haven't uploaded yet because I'm not yet sure of the protocol, but will update the article once I figure that out. —Luis (talk) 21:02, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Taken care of some time ago. —Luis (talk) 14:58, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
