[edit] GA pass

Paying attention to the comments at the nomination, I do not think that the conciseness of this article affects the point 3 of WP:WIAGA. This is a war memorial and as such I think that apart from its design, its purpose (i.e. what it memorialises), its significance what else can you write about it!? I cant find any problems with references, images, style etc so GA pass. Interestingly I have to ask how is "Antietam" misspelled? Perhaps that could be incorporated. Furthermore is there any info on its mispelling, why, who etc? LordHarris 00:41, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Antietam, is mispelled "Anteitam," check the picture in that section. The thing about the who and why is that the designer/sculptor(s) are unknown. Beyond original research I don't know how to approach that. Which brings to question, if I work as a stringer and do original research publish it in the local newspaper (getting paid), then can I use it? IvoShandor 21:27, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry Im not sure about that - I guess as a published source you could use it as a reference but if its by yourself does that make a difference? You could post a question at Wikipedia:Reference desk and they would be able to tell you. LordHarris 14:08, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Taft

This sculpture wasn't created by Lorado Taft according to every source I have seen. No one knows who created it, if you have a reliable source crediting to Taft then add it. Don't add assumptions, and original research though, thanks. IvoShandor 20:45, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
