[edit]This ancient sculpture has got a great significance in terms of history and archaeology. Wikipedia readers should be entitled to this treasure of ancient civilization.Chmyr (talk) 03:21, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Copyvio?
[edit][[]Parts of this piece were plagiarized and stolen from Stan Parchin from his article at [Suite101.com].]] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boma2007 (talk • contribs)

- Hrm, interesting. The article appears to bear similarities—and in many cases identical text—from the History section on down to the article located at /article.cfm/sothebys_auction_guennol_lioness on server artgalleries.suite101.com. The problem is, that is a blacklisted site, so a) I can't give the link whole, you'll have to splice it together and b) it's blacklisted for a reason, I'd presume. I'm checking edit history dates next. —C.Fred (talk) 02:17, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- And this article dates only to December 5; Parchin's article dates to October. I have deleted the offending paragraphs as infringement (per the note right below the edit box, among other places). —C.Fred (talk) 02:22, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Not on display at Brooklyn Museum anymore?
[edit]The first paragraph says the statue is still on display at the Brooklyn Museum, but I believe this information is outdated. The statue does not show up in the museum's database if you search for 'lioness'.[1] Redrawnoxen (talk) 02:17, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
- It is a loan, not owned by the musem, and these often aren't in a collection database. Johnbod (talk) 13:42, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

More historical/contextual information, less collector bragging rights
[edit]It is remarkable that such an amazing and interesting piece of art is only talked about in terms of how much it sold for at auction. I will be doing research in order to upload some more worthwhile content and would love if someone could help me. This piece has more meaning than simply its price. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dioxazine (talk • contribs) 23:13, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
