Not that tall

[edit]

Another Believer. Obviously, SIRIS is way off on the height of the monument. There's no way it's 35 feet tall, or even half of that. I suspect that it is the base that is 118 inches tall, and the statue is 4-1/2 to 5 feet tall. Any idea on where to find the correct dimensions? == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 14:37, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@BoringHistoryGuy: Great question. I thought it was strange there were 2 sources from Smithsonian's Save Outdoor Sculpture program. Not sure of sources with dimensions, specifically, but here are more sources for future article expansion:

Even if inaccurate, I think it would be best if we included estimated dimensions per the Smithsonian sources. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:44, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Another Believer:. I would normally agree. I initially added the heights to the infobox, but removed them after seeing the 2nd photo here.[1] SIRIS is SO obviously wrong. == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 14:56, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
