Symbol possible vote.svg @Whiteghost.ink: Two (non-critical) entries in the tabl
e without citations is not a deal-breaker; if you wanted to continue the review
you should have pinged me. I assumed you were still working on the last two. I'm
more concerned that several descriptions in the table seem to be almost-verbati
m lifted from sources without being quoted, or only partially being quoted, for
example:
Southern Cross: "Inspired by one of the earliest known images of the constellati
on, a wood engraving in the rare manuscript Lettera di Andrea Corsali made in Fl
orence in 1516"
Source: "inspired by one of the earliest known images of the Southern Cross: a w
ood engraving in the rare manuscript Lettera di Andrea Corsali, made in Florence
in 1516"
#Twenty-first century: "Tom Bass described himself as a maker of totems
symbolic
, widely recognisable forms that embody social, cultural and spiritual meanings
for a community for a city, a corporate client or humanity in general"
Source: "The artist habitually describes himself as a maker of totems - symbolic
, widely recognisable forms that embody social, cultural and spiritual meanings
for a community - for a city, a corporate client or humanity in general" (is thi
s meant to be a quote? Note that this isn't a quote from the artist in the sourc
e so using quotes would also be misleading)
P&O Fountain: "A wall sculpture that was satirised by a notorious Oz magazine co
ver, that nevertheless "enjoys a kind of celebrity status as a landmark.""
Source: "his wall fountain on Hunter Street, satirised as a urinal by a notoriou
s Oz magazine cover in 1963, enjoys a kind of celebrity status as a landmark."
J.F. Archibald Memorial Fountain: "...fountain constructed to commemorate the as
sociation between Australia and France in World War I"

ociation between Australia and France in World War I."
Wurrungwuri: "Sculpture in two parts ... One part is made of 260 sandstone block
s in wave formation and the other part is a monolith built from 16,000 threaded
quartz pebbles, decorated with a pattern from a rare Aboriginal shield the Sydne
y shield"
Source: "Consisting of two parts, one made of 260 sandstone blocks in wave forma
tion and weighing 350 tonnes, ... The other part is a monolith built from 16,000
threaded quartz pebbles and decorated with a pattern from a rare Aboriginal shi
eld - the Sydney shield"
Busby's Bore Fountain: "Commemorates the Busby Bore, a tunnel built to bring wat
er from the Lachlan Swamp (now Centennial Park) to Hyde Park. The bore, built by
convicts from 1827 1837, was Sydney's sole source of water until 1859"
