I know that the statue of Queen Victoria predates the River fountain. I suspect Dhruva Mistry positioned the Floosie where he did so Victoria would appear to look down disdainfully onto her. Perhaps it’s too speculative for Wikipedia. Perhaps Wikipedians from the West Midland Project can look next time you are there.Barbara Shack (talk) 14:18, 19 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

You really must remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and that all it should state are facts. I understand your edits are in good faith, however, this is just your presumption of what Dhruva Mistry was trying to achieve or show. This is an opinion and not a fact that has been backed up by a source. Unless you can find a source (preferably a secondary source although primary sources are accepted), then the material cannot be added to the page. - Erebus555 (talk) 15:32, 19 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Big Screen info needs updating edit

I visited Victoria Square on 24 April 2012 and the screen was working just fine. In fact it was showing James Murdoch's testimony to the Leveson Enquiry. Obviously I don't know when between 2008 and 2012 it was restored, but the information needs to be updated. Lee M (talk) 03:43, 25 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
