Should be expanded to include a little paragraph on each sculpture, with information on when it was commissioned, and also about who funded it if other than NYC. An excerpt of the most known sculptures should be included into Central Park, with a reference to this list. Bjelleklang - talk 15:16, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
I would personally like to see more pictures of the sculptures. I think more images of the statues would greatly improve this page.-- Jonthecheet 04:17, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
Merging is a terrible idea. The Statues and Sculptures in New York City is embarrassingly underpopulated and, at this point, useless. The List of sculptures in Central Park is much healthier and should stay as far away from that other article as possible. -- Knulclunk 03:58, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
It may not be worth noting, but FYI to the editors of this article: the Alice sculpture has a typo in the verse of "Jabberwocky" inscribed around it -- it says "borogroves" instead of "borogoves". (It's the actual sculpture that has the typo, not this article.) Mike Christie (talk) 02:26, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
How about Real People/Character (to include Balto), Fictional Characters, and Other? Those in the unsorted list now should be moved if applicable. 17:17, 20 November 2008 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.252.20.65 ( talk • contribs) 20:18, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
It seems to me that this list would work far better as a table, or as an article highlighting selected sculptures plus a table for the complete list. User:Smallbones has done a wonderful job of organizing Philadelphia's public art in a table, and doing so here would make the list more coherent and user-friendly. I started a table at the bottom of the page as an example. I'll wait for comments before proceeding much further. == BoringHistoryGuy ( talk) 22:50, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
