Image[edit]

Considering the IP edits recently regarding the image on the article, I thought I should add a note here to explain. Currently there is no free use image of the statue, with the only image remotely appropriate that is uploaded to Wikimedia Commons is already on the article and even then you have to full screen the image and squint a bit.

Once a free use image becomes available then by all means add it to the infobox at the top of the article for all to see - the current image is not meant as a replacement for the proper shot of the statue. Miyagawa (talk) 20:44, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I can now explain a little about why no decent image has turned up yet. I went on a tour of Parliament, hoping to take a shot and promptly found out that the statue is in the part of the Palace that you're not allowed to take photographs in. So we'll have to wait for an official shot to have it in the background. Miyagawa (talk) 15:35, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Moved to Talk:Statue of Margaret Thatcher (London Guildhall) § Requested move 2 October 2017

Statue of Margaret Thatcher (Palace of Westminster) → Statue of Margaret Thatcher, Palace of Westminster – Per WP:COMMADIS. --Nevé –selbert 07:25, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:48, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Statues are not places, so WP:COMMADIS does not apply. older ≠ wiser 08:05, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Technically. But failure to use it here will produce a WP:CONSISTENCY problem with other articles; and WP:NATURALDIS and WP:DISAMBIG prefer natural disambiguation when available, over parenthetic, so these should still be speediable as routine cleanup. Comma-delimited natural disambiguation may be required only for a few things, but it's not forbidden otherwise. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ< 10:00, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - There is nothing more natural about using comma disambiguation here than parenthetical. If there are other statues that use comma disambiguation, I'd argue that those are the titles that should be fixed. older ≠ wiser 03:23, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
