A fact from Equestrian statue of Frederick V appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 11 February 2013 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Frederik V on Horseback (pictured) was designed by Jacques Saly and cast by the Danish Asiatic Company?

Frederik vs. Frederick

I created the article by following a redlink, which spelled the name without the c. But I wondered about the inconsistency as the article on Frederick V contains a c. I figured the spelling issue could be sorted out later. --Rosiestep (talk) 02:50, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What I had in mind when I suggested moving the article to Frederick V on Horseback was the possibility that, once it is featured on the main page, the article will be moved by a reader who will not understand the inconsistency (frankly, I do not understand it either). Such a move would make it harder for you to count all the hits the article got wile on the main page. Surtsicna (talk) 17:15, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wording

As a person who writes about fine arts all the time, I haven't the faintest clue what this means:

"Characterized as a tranquil depiction of Frederik V,[5]........"

There is a reference cited. What precisely does the reference say? You can quote an excerpt from the reference directly if you acknowledge the writer who made the statement.

Here's the quote: "Carl Nielsen's equestrian monument lies within the Danish tradition of dignified, tranquil representations of monarchs, from Jacques-Francois-Joseph Saly's Frederik V at the Amalienborg palaces to Herman Vilhelm Bissen's memorial to Frederik VII on the opposite side of the Christiansborg place..."^[1] --Rosiestep (talk) 15:40, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We have the following sentence now: "Frederik V on Horseback is a sculpture in Amalienborg Square"
But look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equestrian_statue_of_Frederick_VII "The equestrian statue of Frederick VII in front of Christiansborg on Slotsholmen"
And here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equestrian_statue_of_Absalon "The equestrian statue of Absalon on Højbro Plads"
It seems to me that we should use "on" instead of "in". Am I right? BigSugarDaddy 10:55, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You have a point, however both are valid grammatical forms (and Slotsholmen is an island). I prefer the "Frederik V on Horseback is a sculpture in Amalienborg Square" since "Frederik V on Horseback is a sculpture on Amalienborg Square" seems clunky due to the repetition of "on". That being said "Frederik V on Horseback is a sculpture located in the center of Amalienborg Square" is better than either, as it includes more information.
