Hello and thank you for considering my edit. On the face of it, a small aircraft belly landing might not seem worthy of note - however, I would argue that with a major international airport still close 4 hours after the incident it should be recognised that this is a significant day in the operation of BHX. Moreover, it would appear that the Air Accident Investigations Branch consider the incident to be worth investigating. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/the-aaib-has-sent-a-team-of-inspectors-to-birmingham-airport Bstanden (talk) 16:04, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting in touch. All accidents like this are investigated. My advice would be to wait a few days to see what happens next. On the face of it though it really is minor. 10mmsocket (talk) 16:13, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Museum of West African Art (MOWAA) in Benin City, Nigeria, has announced that it will officially open to the public on the 11th of November 2025.

Initially announced in 2020, the MOWAA campus is designed as a 15-acre complex that will feature the MOWAA Institute for research and education, the Rainforest Gallery for contemporary art exhibitions, the Art Guesthouse boutique hotel, the Artisans’ Hall performance venue, among other facilities. MOWAA is an independent, non-profit institution dedicated to the preservation of heritage, the expansion of knowledge and the celebration of West African arts and culture.

Institute director Ore Disu had this to say, “Globally, museums are increasingly being asked to justify their existence, whether it’s by way of funding cuts, restitution or falling visitor numbers. What’s important for us at MOWAA is to be truly embedded in building contextually relevant practices, regenerating African cites and scholarship, and using art as a catalyst for real impact.”

Do you want to post that at the article's talk page, not here? Then we can discuss. Looks reasonable though. 10mmsocket (talk) 12:43, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you have zapped the "M Metro" thing. If it comes up again, we should direct them to West Yorkshire Metro, whose logo also has a large capital "M" with the word "Metro" below. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:04, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
