==POV tone== 
 Hi all, just wanted to say that as a "neutral and unbiased" observer, I found the tone in this article somewhat too sympathetic. Clearly, great pains have been taken to make it NPOV, with excellent use of references etc. But, we are, after all, talking about two lumps of steel which coincidentally resemble a cross. Sentences like "Some saw the crossed metal as a Christian cross and felt its survival was symbolic." seem excessively sentimental for the cold-hearted encyclopaedia we're trying to be. Perhaps even replacing "some" with "Certain elements of the American Christian community" or something. Presumably there are also newspaper articles with people saying "it's just two lumps of steel, it's not a cross", but these are not referenced anywhere. 

 I would also suggest that the introductory sentence "which closely resembles a Christian cross" is mildly too sympathetic. Maybe there's a more objective way of putting it, like "whose arms cross in similar proportions to the Christian cross", or even, "which is claimed by certain groups to resemble a Christian cross". 

 I offer these remarks not as criticism, but to try and be helpful, it's really a good (if not yet very lengthy) article )
