John Plankinton statue
- ... that William Plankinton, for whom the William Plankinton Mansion is named, commissioned the John Plankinton statue (pictured) from the sculptor who was his sister's ex-fiancé?
- Reviewed: 3 QPQs forthcoming
- Comment: Source for hook is Ref #3 in the John Plankinton statue article = The statue was ordered by Mr. Wm. Plankinton (John's son) and will always occupy a place in the Plankinton rotunda.

All three articles new enough and long enough. Earwig and spot-checking found no significant close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations or plagiarism. All articles are NPOV and well-cited inline. Unsure if the image is suitably licensed for the main page, "The copyright status of the image was undeterminable by the bot, and requires human attention". The hook is interesting, but it needs an inline cite(s) at the end of the sentence in the article itself. And the source quoted above makes no mention of the "sister's ex-fiancé" bit. That source is here. QPQs awaited. Edwardx (talk) 00:23, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
- I will attempt to answer each concern. I show that William is the son of John Plankinton in references 2 & 3 in the William Plankinton article. In the Elizabeth Plankinton article I show she is the daughter of John Plankinton and therefore the sister of William. In the source for the hook it says, She was to have been married to Richard Hamilton Park, the British sculptor of the above, but was deserted in favor of a dancer from Minneapolis. The John Plankinton statue explains that it was make by Richard Henry Park, who was the Florentine sculptor engaged to Elizabeth.
- The Flickr image has been reviewed February 5 by Administrator Mifter to have the appropriate license. Another version was previously approved February 2.
- Reference #3 in the John Plankinton statue article = The statue was ordered by Mr. Wm. Plankinton (John's son) and will always occupy a place in the Plankinton rotunda.
- I put this Marquette University reference at the end of the sentence of ... Park had betrayed Elizabeth Plankinton (William's sister) and married another woman in 1887, leaving her disappointed and distraught. = also put in reference of source suggested above.
- I'm working on the 3 QPQs and will have them later today. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:34, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
