"In 2004 a memorial plaque to the victims was erected in the Beit Yisrael neighborhood of Jerusalem. The names of the non-Jewish victims were engraved separately from the others. [1]" ??? Zeq 20:01, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
In Merriam-Webster's 10th Collegiate Dictionary (online), definition 2c for plaque is: "a commemorative or identifying inscribed tablet." Regardless of size, material, and purpose: is the designation "[commemorative] plaque" based on its characteristic as not free-standing? If a plaque is designed to be affixed to a larger, flat surface (e.g. a wall, part of a monument, etc.), would there necessarily be a different designation—such as "[memorial] wall"—for one that is free-standing but otherwise serves this purpose and resembles the typical plaque in other features? I did not find a single WP page for memorial wall, though there are numerous pages for particular wall monuments.-- Thanks, Deborahjay ( talk) 08:55, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
I wonder if this page should be moved to historic marker, after all, any marker would be historical, right? Historic describes something of consequence while historical just refers to any old thing that happened in the past. Thoughts? -- IvoShandor ( talk) 05:34, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
Surely the UK is not the only country in the world to issue commemorative plaques? In fact, they aren't even limited to planet Earth. JustinTime55 ( talk) 18:13, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

The introduction of the article states “A commemorative plaque is a plate of metal, ceramic, stone, wood, or other material, typically attached to a wall, stone, or other vertical surface…”
The problem lies in the statement that all plaques are on vertical surfaces, which is not the case. An example of horizontal plaques are the plaques embedded in the sidewalk of Library Way near the Main Branch of the NY Public Library in New York City.
Would it not be appropriate to exclude the solidarity of the vertical placement of plaques with the existence of horizontal plaques? MrFib ( talk) 18:17, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
