In the section “Academic and legal perspectives”, subsection “Definition”, first paragraph, first sentence, we find the phrase, “pulling down a statute”. I have no idea how one pulls down a statute, and I request that this be changed to “pulling down a statue”, which makes much more sense generally, and more specifically in this context. ~2026-27400-60 (talk) 20:35, 8 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for pointing this out. I checked the cited source, and found two things: it's very clear from the context that the author meant "statue" and not "statute", and the author unfortunately wrote the typo "statute". So this passage, which is a direct quote, quotes what the source actually says, even if the source did not actually mean it. So I made this edit: [1]. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:02, 8 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
