Team-B-Vital Improvement Drive

Hello all!

This article has been chosen as this week's effort for WP:Discord's #team-b-vital channel, a collaborative effort to bring Vital articles up to a B class if possible, similar to WP:Articles for Improvement. This effort will run for up to seven days, ending early if the article is felt to be at B-class or impossible to further improve. Articles are chosen by a quick vote among interested chatters, with the goal of working together on interesting Vital articles that need improving.

Thank you! -- ferret (talk) 01:19, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

3D picture relevance?

I don’t want to remove it myself, as I’m fairly low on the food chain here and it seems to have been up for awhile. I can’t think of any reason that an artistic depiction of a generalized statue is necessary when we have pictures of the real things that the article is about.

Also, it misleadingly shows only a head, when the statue should be most of a person when unburied. The more I look at it, the more it doesn’t look like any of the other statues. Samuel010898 (talk) 00:58, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
