Talk:Confederate War Memorial (Dallas)

Untitled
I have one photo and additional historical content to add, but need to cite the sources. This page should be added under the category "Confederate States of America memorials and cemeteries"

POV issues
I have noticed recent edits to this article that seem to be in reaction to recent news coverage, instead of factual, unbiased information. I would request that editors try to keep a neutral point of view when they make edits to this article. Multiple viewpoints are acceptable, but bias is not. —Josh3580talk/hist 00:44, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

Dedication Date
The article states that the memorial was dedicated June 26, 1896. That is when the cornerstone was laid. It was dedicated April 29, 1897. "Veil Has Been Drawn," Dallas Morning News, April 30, 1897: 1, accessed August 16, 2017, http://infoweb.newsbank.com/resources/doc/nb/image/v2:0F99DDB671832188@EANX-NB-10728979A3F51FB8@2414045-10728979B6562FD0@0-1072897AAD547E00@Veil Has Been Drawn?p=AMNEWS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samchilders (talk • contribs) 19:54, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Monument height conflict
Sources conflict regarding the height of the monument. Recent Dallas Morning News stories state that it is 65 ft, while older sources (including the Morning News) say 60 ft, although this is usually phrased like "a 60 ft pillar/obelisk topped with a marble statue of a Confederate soldier." I surmise that the obelisk is 60 ft high and the soldier is 5 ft high, yielding an overall height of 65 ft, but I can't find a published source to confirm this theory. Does anyone have a source that clarifies the matter? Carguychris (talk) 14:12, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
