Hello. I will be doing a review of this article. If you would like to return the favour, I have several good article nominations right now at WP:GAN. Steelkamp (talk) 07:22, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Well written

 * Measurements should be consistent. 8 ft (244 cm) vs eight-foot-tall (240 cm). The conversions should be the same and whether its letters or numbers should be consistent. Steelkamp (talk) 16:00, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Revised.
 * There are four instances of "CWVBIA" that are not preceded by "the". Steelkamp (talk) 16:00, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I think I've revised them all.
 * spring 2021. – As per MOS:SEASON, calendar months should be used instead of seasons. Steelkamp (talk) 16:00, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Revised.
 * "The Society for Converting and Civilizing the Indians and Propagating the Gospel Among Destitute Settlers in Upper Canada" – Doesn't need to be in quotes as it is the name of something. Steelkamp (talk) 16:00, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Removed.
 * The letter cited as cause for the removal Wood's status as a founding member and treasurer of... – This is confusing. Steelkamp (talk) 16:00, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Revised.

Verifiable with no original research

 * in a ceremony attended by nearly 300 people. – Source says over 300 people attended. Slightly different meaning. Steelkamp (talk) 16:00, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Revised.
 * The statue was formally unveiled at the corner of Church and Alexander Streets in Toronto on May 28, 2005 – Refs 3 and 6 only say May 2005, not the specific day. You could remove those refs from the sentence and instead use ref 5 which states the specific day. Steelkamp (talk) 16:00, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Done.
 * to which three plaques that listed information about Wood's life and history were affixed. – Citations following that statement don't show there to be three plaques. Steelkamp (talk) 16:00, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Revised.

Broad in its coverage

 * I take it that there are no sources from when the statue was built that were negative towards it, correct me if I'm wrong. Steelkamp (talk) 16:00, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Correct, the statue was benign until a year ago.

Illustrated, if possible

 * The image of the plaque should be removed as the text on the plaque is under copyright. Steelkamp (talk) 16:00, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Removed.
 * All other images are fine. Steelkamp (talk) 16:00, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
