Talk:The Sphere

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Deleted the Grand Mosque reference. I have never read in any book on Yamasaki or the Trade Center that ever said anything other than that the plaza was a either a giant zen garden or an analogue to Piazzo San Marco in Venice.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.193.20.87 (talk • contribs)

It was in a Slate article from late 2001 that I have been meaning to find. Daniel Case 20:58, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Children's Coloring Page

Does anyone else find it a bit odd that there is a children's coloring page for a sculpture damaged by an act of terrorism? This seems somewhat disrespectful--personally, I question the appropriateness of linking the wikipedia article to such a page (particularly one featuring animated commercial advertisements)... -Grammaticus Repairo 22:34, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

It came up in the Google searching I was doing when originally creating the article. Either that, or I think it was linked from one of other pages I had used a source. While I differ with you about whether that's appropriate or not, I think I will pull the link as copyright infringing (if we have to give full credit when showing pictures of copyrighted art, the creators of that page need to acknowledge it's a derivative work as well).

[edit] Bible Inside The Sphere?

I've heard this story from various Christian sources, that an intact Bible was found inside The Sphere after the destruction of the WTC, but I can't find any independent sources confirming it. Neither of the cites for this article says anything about it. Is there any credible source for this claim because it sounds like glurge.

I'm the guilty party. When I first wrote this we weren't as picky about sources as we are now, and this sort of thing is why that changed. I can't even remember where I found it. Daniel Case (talk) 20:36, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
