im not sure, but i have seen on other sites that there are 14 army, three marines, one airforce, and one navy in stead of 15 army, two marines, one airforce and navy like it does here... and when I visited you could tell the marines by their straps that were tight around their chin and there were three, our tourguide also said there are three marines, so i am going to change it unless anyone objects —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.72.220.168 ( talk) 22:39, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Is the architect of the figures name really Gaylord or is that some vandal joking around? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.72.220.168 ( talk) 23:26, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
i uploaded some photos i took at the memorial this summer. i would like to add them to the gallery and remove some of the photos that just don't convey the feel of the memorial. the ones i took are:
my goal is to get a good close-up of the faces of each of the 19 soldiers. any comments on which ones to add (if any) and remove (if any). -- Jeff Kubina 10:34pm 25 Aug 2007 (EST)
I like what you've got, but is there a way to get some shots of the faces in the wall? Those are a bit eerie, to me, and may help convey the feel. Bigrafa ( talk) 16:43, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Bigrafa, i agree. i took some photos of the wall but they really did not come out good enough. i plan on visiting the memorial again and will make a point of getting better photos of the wall. i think the article really should have at least one good photo of it. -- Kubina ( talk) 15:08, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Frank Gaylord has successfully asserted his creator's rights over the memorial, in a case against the US Government. See http://amlawdaily.typepad.com/amlawdaily/2010/02/frankgaylordip.html. Most of the images of the memorial on Commons have been proposed for deletion. William Avery ( talk) 08:25, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Note: images are now in german wp [1] -- MBq ( talk) 09:45, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
I recently reverted this edit by User:Jorfer that added a cropped image of the memorial: File:Korean War Veterans Memorial Without Soldiers.jpg. The central portion of the image (the sculptures) has been excised, leaving a blank white space. I disagree strongly with that approach (which feels like it is merely making a WP:POINT about the court case) and I also think it is disrespectful to those the memorial commemorates. I'll ask Jorfer to comment here, but we may need to ask others to comment as we may not agree on this. Carcharoth ( talk) 01:55, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure that this edit (the addition of this image) is a wise example of non-free image use, given that the sculptor has filed a court case over use of images like this in the past. In my view, it would be better to avoid using any images that feature the statues unless this is done so in a section that specifically includes sourced commentary on the appearance and look of the statues. Also, this image is not really suitable to be the lead image (the aerial photograph is much better for that), as there are several elements to the memorial, primarily the statues, the wall, and the pool. This image is taken looking away from the pool, with the wall not really shown, so it only shows one element of the memorial. If a ground level shot of the memorial is to be used as the lead image, it would be better to have one of the pool of remembrance. I'll notify the editor who made the change, and see if they will revert for now while this is discussed. Carcharoth ( talk) 22:39, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
is it true that the casualty number written in the memorial is wrong? where exactly did the number written there come from if it's not direct casualty? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 111.243.159.104 ( talk) 16:47, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
