- Comment: Will do QPQ (this is my 6th nom) today / tomorrow - 3 done since, let's use John Atcheler for this one.

- This is only a comment for now, but while the hooks are quite good (I'm quite partial to ALT1 in particular), is there a way to make them snappier or slightly shorter? In the case of ALT1, it may be a good idea to focus on the "Dubliners donating and inscribing part" rather than it was one of Ireland's largest art projects.

- Thanks Narutolovehinata5; I offer ALT3 and ALT4, developing that theme with two different focal points ("permanent" in ALT4 adds emphasis, as the sentences by each person are literally stamped in enamelled metal on a plaque alongside, but is not essential).

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and any of the hooks could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:28, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
Hi there. I was reviewing this for promotion, when I noticed several large quotations in the "Reception and criticism" section. Excessive quotations are not allowed per WP:NFC#Text, and I think the section could be improved anyway by paraphrasing the content. Edge3 (talk) 15:44, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
