I am having trouble[edit]

with the "1893" date in the info-box. It seems to me that the 1903 dedication date is what is called for but in the info box template it asks for a "start date". This is not (opinion) a very useful date. Even the commission date of 1896 would, again, my opinion be a better choice. Now to see who else cares.

your quite right. i tend to use the dedication date unless it took some time. (there are some with a 40 year span). don't know if there's any guidance on this. interest will pick up with wikimania i expect. btw, thanks for all the good photos. Slowking4: 7@1|x 17:42, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome. US copyright laws have put a huge crimp in my ability to post, but I did just get permission from John Henry Waddell to use my pictures of his work, so that should happen in a week or so. Carptrash (talk) 00:22, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
