No photo

First, of course, this article cries out for a photo of its subject. A picture is worth 1,000 words. Second, the text of the article even states "The sculpture as shown...", despite that there's no picture, strongly implying that the passage in question was lifted wholesale from another work without even editing for place. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 12:24, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AGF

Well I'm surprised at you. The article was written to go with a picture on Flickr which never arrived. So Yes someone should have made best efforts.... oh yes! see here. and .... I thought the article read a bit kludged so in one way I'm flattered that you think it was "lifted wholesale from another work" on the other hand ..... I am very surprised that you/anyone would make such an accusation without checking your facts.....

and thanks for showing good faith? ... Victuallers (talk) 13:51, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Now, let's not get edgy... I like to assume good faith, but the lack of a photo, combined with an apparent reference to a photo, looked a little odd, no? Maybe my diplomacy skills are a bit rusty; I'm sorry if you took offense. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 15:11, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
