My name is Nial Smith. I am the artist who created The Three Grazers. Is it possible to be credited next to the picture?81.155.200.20 01:27, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Time for a category?
There are an ever-increasing number of these projects, and articles upon them. Clearly time for an overall category, but what should it be called? Andy Dingley (talk) 12:48, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Category:CowParades
 * Category:Tiresome copies of the original
 * Category:Themed public sculpture series
 * But are any of them notable, aside from the requisite months of relentless hysterical drum-beating by local media outlets desparate to keep their jobs from being outsourced to the chain's head office in Wichita? I like "CowParades" best as a category title since it shows the poverty of imagination of imitators shows attribution to the original. --Wtshymanski (talk) 19:01, 12 October 2012 (UTC)


 * If we have articles on these, then we should have a category on them.
 * Should we have any articles on these? Yes, if they meet our stated policy on notability. I think this is possible - the Larkin Toads look like one of the better examples, although this could possibly be merged into the overall Larkin festival article.
 * Should we have as many articles as we do? Almost certainly not!  Most of these don't justify themselves (Mermaids is the latest).
 * I wouldn't support a separate list article though, just the list section we already have in the lead article. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:37, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Two cities and Peanuts statues
I cannot make these corrections myself due to a Peanuts-related WP:COI, but the information here on the North America list for St. Paul is all messed up, and Santa Rosa is underspecific

The correct events are:

St. Paul Santa Rosa
 * 2000: Peanuts on Parade (Snoopy statues)
 * 2001: Charlie Brown Around Town
 * 2002: Looking for Lucy
 * 2003: Linus Blankets St. Paul
 * 2004: Doghouse Days of Summer (Snoopy & Woodstock)
 * 2005: It's Your Town, Charlie Brown
 * 2006: Summer of Woodstock


 * 2007: Snoopy's "Joe Cool" Summer

Cities
The list of cities seems to be random- it might have been originally chronological, but isn't any more. And it certainly isn't alphabetical! When it gets cleaned up, Portland, Oregon should be added. Although I never heard the project called "CowParade", there were 108 statues, starting in March, 2002. I know of the current locations of 2 of them. Several years later, at a thrift store, I found a small stuffed cow of the same sort, so there seems to be some merchandising connected. CFLeon (talk) 01:39, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Explanations needed

 * In which sense/ way are these used for fundraising? Are they at all (and not only used in hope of tourist attraction)?
 * The Edinbourgh project needs explanation.
 * What are "Wullies" ??? 2A02:3032:413:CD0E:2:1:687E:B9B (talk) 11:52, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
