Confederate Monument at the University of Mississippi

... that it cost an estimated $1.2 million to move the Confederate Monument (pictured) at the University of Mississippi? Source: "The estimated cost of the move is $1.2 million, which will be paid with private donations, not public money, the board said." [1]
- ALT1: ... that the Confederate Monument (pictured) at the University of Mississippi had two explanatory plaques? Source: "After meeting with the chancellor and members of the university community, the committee expressed its desire to consider further input and reexamine whether the language on the plaque should be changed and, if so, how. After considerable input and study, the committee made its final recommendation, which was approved in June 2016 by Chancellor Vitter." [2]

Article looks good. There are no major copyvios but I'd like the phrase "... American Civil War, almost the entire student body ..." to be worded differently because it's the same in the source but it's not a major problem. Image is freely licensed. Reviewing ALT0: The hook is interesting, matches the article and the source. ―Panamitsu (talk) 02:42, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Y Re-worded the lead to remove the close paraphrase. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 03:22, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
