Re: your 7 August 2008 edit of Grand Army Plaza 
Thank you for your contribution to the Grand Army Plaza article in Wikipedia. However, I removed the edit for the following two reasons.

 You furnished no references. Please see Wikipedia:Verifiability
 Furnishing a nine year range as documentation for the statue's removal is, essentially, wordage that conveys no information. 

If, when you hit the 'edit' link, you were as uncertain about the monument's status as this verbiage suggests, you should have really stayed your hand and hit the books and newspaper archives instead. You should have first found one or two backing references that would have given you concrete information about the monument; this would have permitted you to write with precision and clarity. Secondly, you would have been able to cite the references, not only verifying the content and rendering Wikipedia a more reliable work, but also furnishing  readers additional reading. Please, before considering editing this or another article, do sufficient research to meet Wikipedia's verifiability criteria, and have references on hand before editing an article. Thanking you in advance,
