Relationship to the Duke of Rohan?

I note that this museum and founding family shares its pronunciation with the town of Josselin in France, home of the Duke of Rohan who, during the French Revolution, changed their surname to "Josselin" to avoid identification as a nobleman and thus avoid the guillotine. Are George and Sarah Joslyn related to the Duke of Rohan? In particular I am comparing the fascination with castles of both families; the Duke of Rohan built an impressive castle in Josselin, France and his descendants still live there to this day; the Omaha family built the modern Joslyn Castle folly.

Please Keep SSL Support

Please keep the SSL upgrades to this Wikipedia article. 64.128.27.82 (talk) 15:53, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Joslyn Art Museum with this edit, even if you intend to fix them later. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. TYelliot | Talk | Contribs 15:54, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

These are not test edits. These are upgrades. Please see the "Talk" section under the article: Joslyn Art Museum. 64.128.27.82 (talk) 15:55, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Why the SSL support? It is not Wikipedia policy to append https to external links. TYelliot | Talk | Contribs 15:57, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Incorrect. The SSL policy for Wikipedia exists. It is located http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:SSL 64.128.27.82 (talk) 16:00, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

That's a how-to guide for using the secure Wikipedia servers; it has nothing to do with using secure links in articles. ElKevbo (talk) 16:03, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Okay, I'll leave the page the way you desire if you are the maintainer. If you do add the SSL support, you will have more visitors from places that block plain HTTP links (companies, countries, etc.). 64.128.27.82 (talk) 16:06, 20 August 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.128.27.82 (talk)
