Combine all tables?

Hi. What's the rationale for building this List, ostensibly a single list, as six regional ones? If we combined the tables, readers would be able to sort all listed Philly artworks by date, artist, etc. PRRfan (talk) 01:26, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm thinking they will soon (or have already) grown too large for one list and should be soon divided into separate articles. They were together on one page to help organize which list which pic belonged in. Hope this makes sense. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 05:41, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Be advised

that when the SIRIS data base, in its listing, gives 1800 as a date it is not to be trusted. There are lots of errors in those dates. If an individual page gives a date it is going to be good but when you are looking at a whole list page, don't trust it. You have in this article aCivil War monument dated "1800." Think about it.

Request Edit to second line on page

Hello,

We greatly appreciate being used as a source for this page. However, it is not accurate to state that "The Association for Public Art estimates the city has thousands of public artworks..." The link to this source of information is broken, and we do not state any such fact on our current website. Is it possible to change this? You are welcome to use our website as a resource. We have included a selection of outdoor sculptures here: https://www.associationforpublicart.org/explore/public-art/#list/all/
