A fact from La Mano de Punta del Este appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 18 December 2008, and was viewed approximately 2,626 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Monumento al Ahogado, a Uruguayan landmark, was completed in only six days, even though the sculptor was given an entire summer to work on it?

Procrastination?

The article claims that the artist finished the sculpture in six days, despite having all summer for it. It is however unclear whether it was the first six days of the summer (as in case of great inspiration and hard work) or the last six days of the summer (as in case of procrastination and hard work). I think it should be worded more clearly. Boris Bukh (talk) 00:26, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Awakening?

I'm not sure the right way to include this, but this article immediately made me think of The Awakening (sculpture). What is the best way to reference these to each other? Just putting them both in the same Outdoor Sculpture or similar category really doesn't show them both being "really big parts of bodies sticking out of ground sculptures" and that would be a bit long for a category name.

Moving the article

Hello, I will move the article from the name Monumento al Ahogado to Mano de Punta del Este, because that's the name that the author uses in a lot of texts on his personal web site. I don't think the current title is totally inaccurate, it's probably valid, but the new name is for sure a correct one given this reason. --Moraleh (talk) 04:59, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
