Hi.
Not to long ago I removed this sentence ( At the time of her death, she was one of only three women sculptors in the U.S. credited with three public monuments.) from the Angela Gregory article. I am not doing it to diminish her her or her work, I am a bid fan, but removed it because it is clearly (on of 27 words or phrases that mean "in my opinion") a false claim. Just because it is footnoted does not make it true, nor does it mean that it belongs in the article. It came from her obituary, a source of information that is notoriously give to hyperbole. I have found that claim in other places and it is just as untrue there. However I do not care about those places. I do care about wikipedia. I am not inclined to get into an editing war over this, I'd rather convince you that it does not belong in the article.

Women with three public monuments in the USA, all prior to Gregory's death in 1990..

1. Anna Hyatt Huntington the wikipedia article on her lists something like a dozen equestrian monuments. She has others too.

2. Theo Alice Ruggles Kitson the wikipedia article on Kitson mentions 50 versions of her Hiker statue alone. She has more other stuff. 3. check out the work of Vinnie Ream, Nellie Walker, Sally James Farnham, Laura Gardin Fraser, Waldine Tauch, Brenda Putnam, Katherine Lane Weems and probably more.

I am wondering
about your recent edit at Angela Gregory, changing "carved" to "sculpted." What does that man? I know what 'carved a head' means, it is much less clear,to me, with "sculpted a head" might be. Carptrash (talk) 00:18, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
