Statue of Winston Churchill, Parliament Square

 * ... that Winston Churchill suggested the location for a statue of himself, even though the actual statue (pictured) wasn't proposed until two decades later?
 * Alt1:... there were concerns that the statue of Winston Churchill (pictured) in Parliament Square looked too much like Italian Fascist leader Benito Mussolini?
 * Reviewed: Closed circle of suspects
 * Comment: The reason for naming the article list this is because there is a second statue of Winston Churchill inside the Houses of Parliament themselves - hence why it isn't "Statue of Winston Churchill, London".

 * Incomplete review. I am too sleepy to check for plagiarism right now. Otherwise everything checks out. I greatly prefer the ALT1 hook, as I find the original hook confusing -- and less interesting. --Orlady (talk) 05:03, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg OK, now I've finished. Everything checks out OK. The image license is OK; interestingly, the same image appeared four years ago in DYK to illustrate a hook about the wrong sculptor! --Orlady (talk) 14:44, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
