- There are multiple issues. Three of the sources are unreliable - PBase as a personal website, Humanities for All as a blog post, and Indybay has no editorial process as an "open publishing newswire" that "allows anyone to instantaneously self-publish their work". The first and last sentences of the Design section needs citations. The first sentence under the Use as protest space section needs to be cited. SL93 (talk) 00:29, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks SL93 for the feedback. I've replaced the PBase citation with a better source, and removed the Indybay citation. I've also added sources for the sentences which were missing them.
I've left the Humanities for All citation up because I believe that although it's a blog article, it's an appropriate source for the statement of "[SJSU] faculty embedded Victory Salute into their Public Art as Resistance project". The blog is written by the Director of Public Programming for the College of Humanities at San Jose State, and describes the history and intent behind the project. I have added another secondary source for the statement, but I think the Humanities for All article should stay.SammySpartan (talk) 18:20, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. The article and image are ready to go. SL93 (talk) 21:25, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
