October 12 edit

The one-year anniversary is coming up in a couple days; any significant sources arise since the last substantial edits we should review? Arlo James Barnes 02:40, 11 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Well, I added a source talking about charges being dropped for most of those previously charged. I see a photo has been added depicting The Cube up close, also. Arlo James Barnes 07:42, 21 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Arlo Barnes thanks for that update of important current information. I added the photo of the cube when I was in town a few months ago, but sadly, the information on the temporary(?) plaque is not legible. I should have written it down at the time I made the photo.

Looks like it's just excerpting the first few clauses of https://santafenm.gov/media/files/2021-6CultureandReconciliation.pdf, which we could mention (maybe there's a relevant inline template?) but probably not worth quoting directly since the resolution seems to just be an agreement that CHART should happen.

Got it! If you think it's not worth quoting, lets not worry about it. Netherzone (talk) 22:03, 21 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Height edit

Hey, it just occurred to me to ask how tall it is now. Strictly speaking, the infobox is currently a little misleading about that. Arlo James Barnes 00:49, 20 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

I modified the infobox to reflect this. It would be good to know how tall the cube is. Is "The Cube" what locals are calling this structure? Just curious. Netherzone (talk) 18:47, 21 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
No, that's just what I'm calling it; it amuses me. I don't believe it has an official name, since despite the new sturdier cement board construction it's meant to be a nonstructure, merely preventing further damage to the monument base but not asserting an architectural vision beyond that.

I like that - The Cube. Netherzone (talk) 22:04, 21 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

but the Navajo Human Rights Commission (chaired by Jennifer Nez Denetdale) issued a resolution March 6th recommending against restoration. Arlo James Barnes 23:13, 13 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
