Talk:Robot Alley

Thanks

@Dmartin969: Thanks for getting this going! I've worked on Mike Bennett (artist) and related pages a bit, so looking forward to this being part of the encyclopedia soon, too. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:21, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

@Dmartin969: I've taken the draft live! If you can show which source confirms 2010 as the start date, I can add Category:2010 establishments in Oregon and Category:2010 works to the article. Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 13:34, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

It's hard to get a set start date. The Oregonian article from 2023 says it started "ten years ago", but I recall reading 2010 somewhere but now can't find it. Maybe he just told me it was 2010, but obviously I wouldn't have a citation for that. –DMartin 14:56, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Ok, thanks! I'll remove '2010' for now then. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:53, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Robot Alley and its creator

• ... that Robot Alley (pictured), an art installation in Portland, Oregon, grew from a three-foot (0.91 m) plastic Stormtrooper, initially placed by the artist to deter crime?

• @Dmartin969: Article contains only 1076 B of prose, short of the DYK requirement of 1500 B. I'll give you a bit of time to see if you can expand the article, but if not, this fails. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 00:47, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
  • It has been one week since my comment and the article has not been expanded. Marking this as a fail. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 06:04, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
