[edit]

Shouldn't this article be under the museum's real name, instead of a nickname?--TheThoughtfulOrc (talk) 05:26, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if you examine the sign in front of the museum building (visible in the infobox photo, but much more legible here), the "nickname" is actually the museum's common name. The large characters are clearly those for "Yamato Museum"; the smaller characters beneath them show the museum's official name of "Kure Maritime Museum". So by Wikipedia's common-name policy, the current name seems best. --Colin Douglas Howell (talk) 01:17, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
