Washington Monument[edit]

Extensive and comprehensive history of the monument. I have done one minor edit on it (so not really self nomination) . Deus Ex 19:00, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • mild Object: 1) references? 2) move the history section up and the statistics down. 3) The statistics don't really seem appropriate under the heading "The motivation for the monument". slambo 12:30, Jan 28, 2005 (UTC)
  • I agree with slambo. I liked the article and am prepared to revisit after those comments are addresses. Vaoverland 01:50, Jan 29, 2005 (UTC)
  • Object. Agree with Slambo. References are a basic FA requirement, so please don't nominate articles without them. - Taxman 14:42, Jan 29, 2005 (UTC)
  • Object. Previous reviewer have sound remarks; I'll add that the statistics/measurements would probably be better off in a table. Also, there appears to be little recent history. Maybe there not too many interesting events, but the 2004 renovation (mentioned in a photo title) is not mentioned in the text. Also, as I (as a non-American) associate Washington Monument as the site of a great anti-war demonstration in the 1960s. This might be relevent for the article as well.
