- Adding links to this article in other articles should be a priority. It is darn near a WP:Orphan. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 11:48, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Whimsy and artistry
editClicking on each of the items in list of sculptures (not just the blued ones), one can see the artistry, detail and heart that goes into the works of art. I thought the Florida Governor Mansion, the Turtle Train, and Bud Man all very interesting. "Public installations" (Photographs). W. Stanley Proctor bronzes. Retrieved August 21, 2014. He goes well beyond sports iconography. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 14:37, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
- How's he do this? It's beyond my ken, but these seem to be incredibly complex castings. Tug of War Photo United Kingdom Very neat! 7&6=thirteen (☎) 20:43, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
Title of Sculptural Works
editWP:MOS Title of Works We have gone with putting in quotation marks on the names of various sculptures. Should they be italicized instead? 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:08, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
Did you know nomination
editSince we are now past the request to delete, I presume that this will be resuscitated in due course. I also propose:
- Alt 1 ... W. Stanley Proctor sculpted The Guardians, depicting two War in Afghanistan SEALS who inspired the film Lone Survivor 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:28, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- Left a message at User talk:BlueMoonset concerning this. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 19:10, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) User:7&6=thirteen, if you want to propose a new hook, then it has to be placed on the DYK nomination template, where it can be considered. If it isn't there, it isn't part of the nomination, and can't be reviewed. Just be sure to format it properly (with closing "?"), and make clear what "Lone Survivor" was, since "inspired the Lone Survivor" could refer to another sculpture, a painting, a novel, etc. ... or a film. Perhaps "depicting two SEALS from the Afghan war who inspired the film Lone Survivor?" would do the trick? If not, feel free to rewrite as necessary and add to the DYK nom—don't forget to start the hook with "... that" (the ellipsis should not have internal spaces). Best of luck!
