I'm not sure where or how to add Chamberlin Rock

Latest comment: 10 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I'm not sure where to add Chamberlin Rock. Could someone help me get this information to the correct section of this page?

The 2 billion year old, 42-ton boulder was deemed to be a harmful symbol of racism by the Black Student Union.

It was remover in 2021, but the demands to move the racist rock started during the unrest... “In the midst of demands for justice following George Floyd’s murder last summer, the students wanted change on campus and they worked hard to see this through."

Does anyone mind if I merge the page on the John Sutter statue into this one?

Latest comment: 4 months ago4 comments3 people in discussion

Coordinates for it were requested but, other than being something that should have never gone up, there's not much interesting about the Statue of John Sutter. It doesn't really deserve the dignity of its own article. I'll carefully copy all the citations on that to the statue's entry in this article. I'll place coordinates and then place a redirect on the other page, if no one objects. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 04:47, 17 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

I object. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 05:43, 17 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

What concerns do you have? Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 20:45, 17 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

I recommend that you WP:AFD the other article and suggest the merger in the nomination summary. Carguychris (talk) 21:51, 17 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Can anyone turn the Columbus statue in Philadelphia light blue, as a judge ordered for it to remain whereas for the statue of Philip Schuyler can anyone get rid of the yellow as it’s already been removed several months ago, I can’t edit these for some reason but anyone that can fulfill these requests, it would be greatly appreciated.
