- Comment: Pictures of Daniel Chester French and Margaret French Cresson can be used as well. I just thought that Abraham Lincoln was most striking
Moved to mainspace by Guerillero (talk). Self-nominated at 16:58, 3 January 2021 (UTC).
- Comment Without context, "Public works" normally means drains and bridges, doesn't it? Certainly in the UK, where we used to have a Ministry of Works. Better to use "public sculptures" here, & I'd rename the article too. Johnbod (talk) 17:38, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
Article length and age are fine (moved to main-space on the same day of DYK nomination), no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, reliable sources are used throughout. Hook length within limit and facts are cited in the article. Image is good and in public domain with no licensing concerns. Good to go with ALT1 and the image. — Amkgp 💬 16:07, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
Public ?
[edit]Curious why this list focuses on public sculptures, as opposed to List of sculptures by Daniel Chester French or similar? ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:05, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Another Believer: This does not include the busts and other sculptures (such as Statue of Lewis Cass) that were created for private and institutional collections. This is just the public art. --In actu (Guerillero) Parlez Moi 15:44, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
