Vandalism

I see that a photo mentions vandalism in the cemetery, could someone expand on this in the text of the article? Altairisfar^talk 00:26, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The statue shown is a replacement for the original statue. The statue shows dogs that have treed a coon at the top of a hollow tree. The remains of the original statue still stand, but I did not take a picture of it while I was there. I probably should next trip. My family had gatherings at the shelter when I was a child and my grandfather was a friend of Key Underwood, thus my fascination. The new statue is slightly taller / bigger than the original and the club maintaining the cemetery had a protective fence built around the new statue. It is a shame that vandals must attempt to destroy a monument commemorating such a beautiful place. Mark @ DailyNetworks talk 03:47, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Per the request I will word something for the article and get a picture of the original statue. It may take a couple of weeks. Mark @ DailyNetworks talk 03:49, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

... that the Key Underwood Coon Dog Memorial Graveyard (pictured) is the only U.S. cemetery reserved exclusively for coon dogs burial? Source: here, here and there
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Bright Memory
- Comment: New nomination. There are many other potential hooks. There is an Easter Egg at the end. And we might want to have an image. IMO, I don't think the picture of the monument we currently have in our article is very good. I am hoping someone can come up with better. I've reached out to some potential sources.

5x expanded by 7&6=thirteen (talk), White Arabian Filly (talk), Coondoglady (talk), Coondog Cemetery-Lady, Dailynetworks (talk), and Drmies (talk). Nominated by 7&6=thirteen (☎) at 17:12, 12 April 2022 (UTC).[reply]

User:7&6=thirteen, it may be a while before I'm up there on 72 again, but I will get that picture. And you know I'm going to stop at Stagger Lee's Lounge. Drmies (talk) 15:47, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply. Northwest Alabama is a very long way from home for me. The restaurant looks like fun, and I will add it to my itinerary if and when I am in the area. But the likelihood is very slim, unless I can serendipitously land work in the area, and that too is unlikely. This is way off my beat. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:01, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, I have been told in a phone converation that better photographs will be uploaded in the next few days to Wikimedia commons. I hope so. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:26, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The cemetery caretakers sent me excellent pictures today. Since they are the copyright holders/creators, I have asked them to please upload them Wikimedia Commons, since I can't waive their copyright. They sent them from their phone; and doing the upload process is probably best done from a computer. I've told them all that. I expect this will be resolved this evening. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:56, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So that place is kind of cool--you get to ride in the bed of a pick up truck down from the parking lot, and the kids love that. Underneath that ledge it's nice and cool. But the music is that old-timey country, and the food, well, it's OK I guess, sort of mediocre standard bar food. Not bad but not great. But the setting of the place is of course spectacular, and it's a pretty well-known here; I'm sure there's enough coverage to write a short article. Drmies (talk) 15:07, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

5x expansion confirmed, QPQ done, hook acceptable, hook cited. Earwig has flagged areas of concern. The article needs some clean-up. The lead section is too long, and somewhat confusing. Some copy editing is needed. --evrik ^(talk) 18:29, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

USER:7&6=thirteen You going to finish cleaning up the article? --evrik ^(talk) 18:34, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Marking for closure as the nominator has not responded to the pings and talk page messages despite activity elsewhere. The nomination may continue if they respond; please respond here or edit the article if you still wish to push through with it.

I will work on cleaning up the article and addressing your concerns, but not until June 6. Sorry for the delayed response. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:39, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
