Where is the statue now? In a warehouse? Destroyed?—Bhuck (talk) 09:22, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bhuck, I've shared some URLs below, if you're still curious. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:34, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Another Believer: There seems to be two titles for this statue - which should be the title of the article?MagicatthemovieS (talk) 21:47, 13 June 2019 (UTC)MagicatthemovieS[reply]

MagicatthemovieS, Whichever is used more frequently in appropriate sourcing. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:48, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, we should list alternate (sourced) titles in the lead. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:48, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've redirected Robert E. Lee and Young Solider to here for now. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:14, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Randy Kryn:@Derek R Bullamore:@Another Believer: I nominated this article for DYK - would either of you be kind enough to approve it?

Sorry, but this is one area on Wikipedia that I do not contribute to nowadays. Nevertheless, the best of luck with your submission. - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 18:49, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I quit dealing with DYK as well. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:36, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@MagicatthemovieS: Thanks for your work on this article. I'm curious, is Good article status your goal? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:41, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Another Believer: I'm not sure if I intend to get this to GA status or not at this point.MagicatthemovieS (talk) 23:05, 20 June 2019 (UTC)MagicatthemovieS[reply]

MagicatthemovieS, You might check out the "Remarks" section here to see if any more should be added to the History section. I've added a Description section with more detail about the artwork's design and inscriptions, but I'd appreciate if you review the other sections of this source as well to see if I've overlooked anything important. Thanks, and good luck at GAN! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 01:28, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" (Smithsonian Institution) listing ---Another Believer _(Talk) 01:14, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Until the new location is determined, should this article display coordinates for where the statue was installed? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 01:25, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Another Believer: No.MagicatthemovieS (talk) 03:50, 21 June 2019 (UTC)MagicatthemovieS[reply]
