:::: Thanks very much {{ping|Hassocks5489}} and {{user|Cbl62}}. I'm looking forward to seeing this DYK appear on the main page!! [[User:Mertbiol|Mertbiol]] ([[User talk:Mertbiol|talk]]) 08:06, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
:::::Just wondering whether "10-ft ''tall''" would be better than "10-ft ''high''" to describe the size of the cockerel statue? I will leave this for others with more experience to decide. (This is my first DYK.) [[User:Mertbiol|Mertbiol]] ([[User talk:Mertbiol|talk]]) 08:45, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
