Missing First Reference
editSomehow, the first reference to sculptor Hermon Atkins MacNeil seems to have disappeared. I presume that was a mishap when the image was added, as it would have come just below that. Miss Ivonne (talk) 13:25, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
I just cut this out
editfrom the Marietta Mural section. The use of the words "our history" alone are probably enough, but the suggestion that this document ranks, "second only to the Constitution of the United States." really needs to be (opinion) referenced.
- "The Northwest Ordinance July 13, 1787, in which this invention was embodied, also consecrated the region to freedom both of conscience and of labor. It provided the model for all subsequent territories. As a political document, it ranks in our history second only to the Constitution of the United States."

GA status concerns
editThis article is an older GA, but is not up to the modern GA criteria. Material about the history of the monument after its construction (for instance, management between construction and NPS management, or details of NPS management) are not included, the purpose and significance section is uncited, and not all material is supported by the existing citations. For instance, I'm not seeing where the count of paving stones in "removal, temporary storage, and numbering of approximately 1,000 large granite paving stones" is found in the source, or the reference to the sprinkler system later in the paragraph. If these issues are not addressed, the article may need to go to good article reassessment. Hog Farm Talk 15:04, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Even a quick reading of the lede demonstrates a more casual style than what we should expect in a modern GA. There's no question it's a GA-worthy subject. I see it's been listed for reassessment. BusterD (talk) 14:49, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
