Mexican War Memorial

5x expanded by Dwkaminski (talk). Self-nominated at 14:20, 11 January 2022 (UTC).Reply

  Not 5x expanded as stated but a new article started on 9 January; nominated in time. Plenty long enough. Referencing is fine. Neutral. QPQ has been done. I've made a number of tweaks to the article myself (feel free to amend / undo / fix things differently). Some parts are too close to the source or even identical. Please use your own words for the following:

  • "veterans of the First and Second regiments of the Pennsylvania Volunteers who fought in the Mexican-American War"
  • "After World War II, the cemetery expanded"

All hooks suffer from the fact that the Old Glenwood cemetery was replaced by New Glenwood cemetery in the early 1920s, but it only became Glenwood Memorial Gardens after 1945. This would be brought up at WP:Errors; there's a 20-year gap between the establishment of New Glenwood cemetery and its current name coming along. Could you please consider how this issue could be overcome? For example, here's a possible tweak for ALT3:

See what you think. Regarding the photo, there is no FoP in the US for artworks, but it does say: public artwork installed before 1927 is considered to be public domain, and can be photographed freely. The artwork was originally installed in 1855 (tick!) but relocated in 1927. I'm guessing this does not trigger the "installed before 1927" clause, but before we can be sure, I'd get advice from somebody who understands American FoP legislation. Either way, the photo isn't great as a thumb nail as it lacks contrast; with a blue sky in the background, it would be a different story. I recommend that the photo not be used.

  • @Schwede66: I rewrote the close phrasing. I understand your concerns with the Mexican War Monument photo. I have proposed an ALT2 and would like to include another photo in the DYK if possible. Let me know your thoughts on the following:
 
Orphans decorating their fathers' graves in Glenwood Cemetery

ALT2a: ... that Glenwood Memorial Gardens in Broomall, Pennsylvania was initially established in 1849 as Glenwood Cemetery (pictured) in North Philadelphia and contained the graves of over 700 Union soldiers? Source: Glenwood was a part of the United States National Cemetery System during the American Civil War with a leased lot within the cemetery for 702 Union soldiers that died in nearby hospitals.

  Thanks. I've added the missing "that" to ALT2a. The noun "burial" means the action or practice of burying a dead body; were you meant to use the noun "graves"? The photo is fine. The amended article text is now free of close paraphrasing. Schwede66 22:03, 18 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

  ALT2a and the accompanying Memorial Day / Decoration Day image are approved. Schwede66 18:59, 19 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

    • @Dumelow and Schwede66: hey! this is a super interesting article, as always :) I think there's an interesting ALT to be had in the confederate POW angle; something like ALT3: ... that both Union and Confederate soldiers were buried at the Old Glenwood Cemetery in Pennsylvania until 1891? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) 10:08, January 24, 2022 (UTC)

Notable burials

edit

I wonder whether it would be useful to differentiate between existing burials and those that have since been reinterred elsewhere. Schwede66 03:07, 18 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
