Image request

[edit]

Can someone who's better than me at uploading please upload a free-use image of the real statue, which is quite impressive. The infobox image now is of a smaller version, and may be used in the body of the text unless further images are available. Thanks. Randy Kryn 20:11, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Adiyogi Shiva statueAdiyogi Shiva sculpture – This work of art arguably does not meet the definition of statue, but is instead a bust sculpture. Hadron137 (talk) 23:30, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Expanding the lead

[edit]

Qualitist, Based on your edit summary here it appears to me that you are not familair with MOS:LEAD please read that page and understand that the lead section needs the content in the article. After reading that page, I suggest you to self revert yourself to restore my edits on Adiyogi_Shiva_statue. If you have concerns about particular edit please let me know here. also I have no idea what you mean by DTCP so you should clarify that.--DBigXray 14:35, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have waited for more than a year if anyone has any objections. No one bothered to respond and take objections here. Accordingly I have added these edits per MOS:LEAD. --Happy New Year! ᗙ DBigXray 17:58, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Statue?

[edit]

But, the subject is not a statue... ---Another Believer (Talk) 04:15, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Another Believer, what do you mean ? Happy New Year! ᗙ DBigXray 17:59, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
DBigXray, The artwork appears to be a bust, not a statue. To me, a statue is a full-length figure of a person or animal. A bust shows just the upper part. ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:38, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Another Believer, Thank you for clarifying. Agree that this is a bust. But I dont know if it is "also" classified as a statue or not. I lack the technical knowledge of this domain. Happy New Year! ᗙ DBigXray 15:53, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
DBigXray, I mean, technically no, this is not a statue, but I understand we based our wording on how subjects are described by secondary coverage. Bust or sculpture is more accurate, IMO. ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:23, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ham II: Penny for your thoughts? ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:24, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Adiyogi Shiva statueBust of Shiva, Coimbatore – Per WP:VAMOS, which says, "For portrait sculptures of individuals in public places the forms "Statue of Fred Foo", "Equestrian statue of Fred Foo" or "Bust of Fred Foo" are recommended, unless a form such as "Fred Foo Memorial" or "Monument to Fred Foo" is the WP:COMMONNAME. If further disambiguation is needed, because there is more than one sculpture of the same person with an article, then disambiguation by location rather than the sculptor is usually better. This may be done as either "Statue of Fred Foo (Chicago)" (typically preferred for North America) or "Statue of Fred Foo, Glasgow" (typically preferred elsewhere). If the sculpture has a distinct common name, like the Bronze Horseman, that should be used. Examples: Statue of Mahatma Gandhi (Houston); Statue of Queen Victoria, Sydney; Jefferson Davis Monument; Equestrian statue of Christian V." The sculpture is a bust, not a statue. --Another Believer (Talk) 13:33, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
