Liberty Island

I have uploaded a new photo of the island I took last month and think it would be proper for use here. --talk→ WPPilot 17:34, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good, added.--Wehwalt (talk) 21:05, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Statue of Liberty & One World Trade Center

I found a great photo of the Statue of Liberty and One World Trade Center, do you think It would look good somewhere In the article? CookieMonster755 (talk) 05:02, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit dubious. It's somewhat duplicative of the 9/11 one without the historical value.--Wehwalt (talk) 05:07, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I see @Wehwalt:. Maybe It would be a good photo for the World Trade Center article. I just suggested the photo here, but you said it's dubious. Thank you for replying! CookieMonster755 (talk) 00:56, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No trouble, and nothing personal. As there are many images of the S of L, we have to be selective.--Wehwalt (talk) 01:49, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Connection to the Babylonian deity Semiramus

Both figures seem awkwardly similar. Is there any link between this governmental figure from Nimrod? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.27.70 (talk) 18:52, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I've ever heard. You might want to research the matter.--Wehwalt (talk) 00:52, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

not a gift from the people of France

Please remove this untruthful text ... "was a gift to the United States from the people of France." Not true, a scam by the 'artist' and an advert for a laxative . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Njashmore (talk • contribs) 16:42, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, go take a laxative you moron.

Evidence?--Wehwalt (talk) 19:34, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

typo

"As agreed in an 1834 compact between New York and New Jersey" should say "contract". 178.202.130.44 (talk) 22:34, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not that familiar with legal jargon, but from the source the terminology appears to be correct — MusikAnimal ^talk 22:46, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's correct as is, see interstate compact.--Wehwalt (talk) 09:14, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
