Pics and list of Registered Historic Places

[edit]

I have a few more pics to use, which I'll put up later. Also, I think on List of Registered Historic Places in Kentucky (Jackson County to Lyon County) we need to make Jefferson County its own separate article. (No one saw me mention it, so I thought it best to mention it here.)--Bedford 22:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Probably makes sense due to the large amount of such places in Jefferson County. Have at it. Stevie is the man! TalkWork 22:59, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Who's on top? "And what is "aging?"

[edit]

There are illustrations of the two soldiers at the bottom, but all we get is a tiny distant view of the soldier at the top, and from the back at that. Who's on top and what does he look like? Also the illustrations of the bottom soldiers say "note the aging." What is "aging" of a bronze statue? Dirt? Dents? Corrosion? Or just patina? Absent a reliable, non- original research opinion, I will remove the comments about "aging."Edison (talk) 01:23, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The figure on top is a generic infantry soldier. Few days ago the AP printed a retraction after an article went out stating the figure was Jefferson Davis. Kintpuash (talk) 16:46, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Figure on top believed to be a modeled after Judge Reginald Thompson, placed text in article with cite. Kintpuash (talk) 04:32, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yandell controversy

[edit]

In 1895, the Confederate Veteran mentioned David Yandell, Enid's apparent uncle, was a member of the monument executive committee. Dr. Yandell founded the Louisville Medical Institute. [[1]] This is too much first person research to put into the article. But it is possible the sexism charge is a 20th century extrapolation. Kintpuash (talk) 20:00, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

von Miller

[edit]

The 1956 KHS research article is clear that von Miller, the Younger was the artist rather than his father. The template on the photos at the bottom of the page still show the father. Hoping someone can fix this efficiently. My template skills are lacking. Kintpuash (talk) 18:13, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 13 December 2016

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved, as there is no consensus for this change, unless and until the official name of the monument changes in the National Register of Historic Places or sources determine that a new common name is in use. Confederate Monument in Brandenburg is created as a redirect. (closed by non-admin page mover) Bradv 14:13, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]


Confederate Monument in LouisvilleConfederate Monument in Brandenburg – The monument has been fully moved to Brandenburg, Kentucky from the previous location in Louisville. Citations for the move in the article. Naming convention of other pages for monuments in Kentucky follow with just the town name. Moving a monument such as this is a bit unprecedented so I could anticipate an argument as to why should not change (121 year history in Louisville). But it seems to me, it would generate more confusion keeping it the way it is. Kintpuash (talk) 08:03, 13 December 2016 (UTC) --Relisting. Bradv 04:29, 1 January 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. -- Dane talk 04:39, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting: There appears to be consensus that the current name is inadequate, but no consensus on what to change it to. Bradv 04:29, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The NRHP doesn't give official name status to anything. If this article was about the listing or nomination form, that could be officially named, I suppose. I'm quite sure it was already known as the Confederate monument for the 102 years it wasn't NRHP-listed. kennethaw88talk 03:54, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting - Consensus is still unclear and one more relist might not be bad to help solve this and avoid a no consensus close. -- Dane talk 04:39, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
