Artwork/sculpture, and preferred infobox? edit
I'm curious if we should consider this memorial an outdoor sculpture as well? If so, we can add Category:2000 sculptures, Category:Granite sculptures in Ohio, and Category:Outdoor sculptures in Columbus, Ohio, and List of public art in Columbus, Ohio as a "See also" link. Thoughts?
@Russian Rocky: Pinging you since you just expanded the article a bit. Also, curious if you think Template:Infobox artwork or Template:Infobox monument is more appropriate. Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:08, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

- @Another Believer: I agree with your idea, it might be helpful for readers. The memorial was once referred to as a "memorial sculpture" and has sculptural elements (e.g. the badge), thus I think it is reasonable to add the mentioned categories and links. As for the templates, I prefer Template:Infobox monument, because a number of sources describe it as a monument. Also, Template:Infobox artwork looks more general, while Template:Infobox monument is "honed" for 3-dimensional works.--Russian Rocky (talk) 22:57, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
