I certainly prefer "in" to "at" - good move - but why not call it Fourth plinth, Trafalgar Square? I don't know the MoS off by heart but that looks more typical of a thing-in-a-place article name, and plays nice with the pipe trick. But what do you think?

Official site [1] and bbc [2], telegraph [3] amongst loads of other news orgs going for two caps.
The guardian seems to be [4] possibly going for "Fourth plinth". And as we all know t'ain't called the granuiad for nothing :)
This begs the question: do we move this article to Fourth Plinth, Trafalgar Square? I think not, that doesn't look right. But it could potentially be moved to Fourth Plinth. Thoughts? Egg Centric ( talk) 00:07, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
P.S. I expect to be busy at work tomorrow but if there's a lull I'm going to do quite a bit of editting to this article. Which reminds me - I need to be in the office in under 6 hours and it's an hour commute. STEP. AWAY. FROM. THE. COMPUTER :D
I'd like to tabulate all the known occupants. Not certain about what collums to use... for a start do we assume we want an artist collumn? As it'll be quite a lot of messy cutting and pasting to populate the table would like some opinions about which ones we want before I do so.
Assume photos won't be too much of a problem for anythign recent.
It would be something like this:

The BBC ref says Gift Horse will be unveiled "next year" (2015), and this says the thumb thing will be "early 2016". I've not seen more specifics about the date than that. Note that GLA's page http://www.london.gov.uk/priorities/arts-culture/fourth-plinth/2014-2015-commissions/hans-haacke has "2014-2015" in the URL, but this seems to be when they're commissioning, not when they're installing. Note also that The Guardian ref says Gift Horse will replace the blue cockerel (there isn't some other work we've not accounted for), so it will stand there for about 18 months or so. -- Finlay McWalterჷ Talk 00:52, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
An editor with a conflict of interest User:FourthPlinth is making a large number of edits without edit summaries, in some cases these are helpful edits but it is difficult to tell, because despite a polite request they are refusing to fill in the edit summary box.

In the light of above discussion, I've removed WP:COI banner. It seems to me FourthPlinth has not made further edits, and the overall tone of article seems to have WP:NPOV. Please comment if you disagree. Mick gold ( talk) 17:46, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

Aldaron, I've replace the image you added with a link to an external image. British copyright law does not allow for publishing images of temporary sculptures without the artist's permission, even if they are displayed outdoors in a public place. As you can see from the notices above many images have been removed from this article and from Commons. It is a shame, but that is what it is. StarryGrandma ( talk) 23:20, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
