  • "Efforts towards the erection of a monument honoring Devens began in fall 1891" - Per MOS:SEASON, use "late 1891" not "fall 1891". Seasons are not entirely equivalent between the northern and southern hemispheres.
    • Done.
  • The dedication source says that Congress appropriated some cannons for the statue, is this worth mentioning?
    • Made note of that at the end of the paragraph discussing the statue's casting.
  • Not sure how much the Library of Congress external link adds. It's just a link to an image already included in the article
    • Reomved.
  • This 2017 source states that the plan for renovating the building kept the statue in front of the building, which might be a useful thing to add.
    • Added it to the Recent history subsection

Beyond that, it looks fine for GA. I spot checked a couple sources and didn't find any issues, and the sources are all reliable and everything appears to be cited. Images are all freely licensed and the licensing looks correct. Placing on hold. Hog Farm Talk 15:45, 17 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
