Re: Oval with Points[edit]

@Theramin: Thanks for merging the Large Oval with Points content into Oval with Points. I was not aware of the existing article. I see you also updated this article. True, the Smithsonian source says the sculpture is installed in the park. However, I've updated the article to say that the sculpture is actually across the street from the park. I just visited Columbus for a WikiConference weekend before last, and I saw this sculpture in person (the sculpture is also visible on Google Maps). I'm not sure if the artwork was moved after Smithsonian's survey, or if installation in the park was reported in error, but I wanted to update the article (even if considered original research) and bring this change to your attention. Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:52, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@GeorgeofOrange: You might care to confirm here as well. The sculpture is installed across the street from the park and not within the park itself, right? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:53, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder, would it be more appropriate to have mention of the sculpture in the Franklin County Government Center article? This seems to encompass a larger area and by moving content, the park article won't mention a sculpture that's not specifically installed within its boundaries? Just an idea. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:54, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Another Believer: Yes, I can confirm it got moved - in a rather dramatic fashion. I added a reference to the video on the page. GeorgeofOrange (talk) 01:34, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Status?[edit]

So, this park no longer exists, or has just been closed? Shall we add Category:2018 disestablishments in Ohio and/or are there any other 'defunct' categories needing to be applied? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:59, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Haven't been too many updates as far as I see. Is a fenced-off park closed permanently, if intended to not be open again? The category would be fine, not sure what else is worth doing yet...

Ɱ, OK, thanks. I will go ahead and add the category. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:13, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ɱ, Category:Former parks in the United States may apply sooner or later... ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:14, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I was bold and added the category. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:19, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dorrian Commons or Dorrian Commons Park?[edit]

Which is the more appropriate title? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:17, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
