Talk:Iron Mike
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Fort Benning
A quick note to explain why Fort Benning is not included in detail here. A Google search for "Fort Benning"+"Iron Mike" brings up 858 hits, most of which are not even about the statue. A search for "Fort Benning"+"Follow Me" comes up with 16,700 hits, and is where I was able to find the most information on the actual statue. So clearly it's not called "Iron Mike" by most.

[edit] GA nom ... passed
Although the length of this article would very likely keep it from being a FA, I've nominated it for GA as it has broad coverage, references, and photos. It contains just about every bit of sourced information I can find on the subject. Kafziel 16:42, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
- Brief but good. I would like to have some more info on the etymology/history of the name Iron Mike. Also, if possible, some book references would be useful to complement the article. Lincher 14:53, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
