I was intrigued by the differences in capitalization, etc., between the English and Spanish portions of the inscription. The explanation seems to be that the original inscription is all in capitals. I think it would be more correct to produce it as such in the article, even if your reference has a transcription in lower case. The way it is now looks as if Mexico should be capitalized while los estados unidos... should be in lower case. The capitalization also explains why Mexico (in Spanish) is not correctly accented. MEXICO (all caps) is usually written without the accent. Have a look at the photo here and you'll see what I mean. - Ipigott ( talk) 18:15, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Statue of Benito Juárez (Washington, D.C.) –
WP:VAMOS has been
updated and now says: "For portrait sculptures of individuals in public places the forms "Statue of Fred Foo" "Equestrian statue of Fred Foo" or "Bust of Fred Foo" is recommended, unless a form such as "Fred Foo Memorial" or "Monument to Fred Foo" is the WP:COMMONNAME. If further disambiguation is needed, because there is more than one sculpture of the same person with an article, then disambiguation by location rather than the sculptor is usually better." --
