Minor style point

[edit]

The word "statue" is not part of the work's title and should not be in italic. I will try to look up how to fix it, but hope someone who already knows will get to it first. Cynwolfe (talk) 22:01, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

see also Template:Italic title; it should really be George Washington (Greenough), there are too many statues for him to claim precedence. Slowking4 †@1₭ 03:52, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. I'm developing the page on the Houdon statue, which seems to have been copied much more frequently. It should probably be a disambiguation page instead.Morgan Riley (talk) 21:05, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

George Washington (statue)George Washington (Greenough) – Given that there are multiple statues of George Washington by that title, and that in terms of chronological precedence this one came long after George Washington (Houdon), I propose as suggested above that it should be renamed to include the artists name, and the (statue) one be a disambiguation link to the multiple statues.

WP:BIAS

Present article reflects modern bias against the guy's subject matter and style and WP:UNDUly emphasizes negative reception. For some period treatment of the enthusiastic treatment of the guy's work, see (inter alia)

Baphomet

[edit]

The popular culture sections mentions Baphomet as a symbol of the Freemasons. The symbol is associated with Islam, with the Knights Templar, and with ceremonial magic, but I fail to see any connection with the Freemasons. Is the summary correct? Dimadick (talk) 13:00, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
