A fact from City (artwork) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 26 August 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that City is a massive work of earth art by Michael Heizer that has been under construction for over thirty years in the Nevada desert?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/August.

In the second sentence of the third paragraph, is the word "siteline" supposed to be "sightline"? 71.113.120.161 16:25, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thank you --my bad. Feel free to make such a change if you see it ;-) --Bobak 16:51, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image[edit]

I threw in an Image, but I'm not sure about the tag - seems OK? HawkerTyphoon 01:37, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Considering the fact that the artist has gone on record in every article (including the NYT articles cited) to say that he does not welcome visitors (and will prosecute and/or shoot at trespassers), I think there's a good faith argument that this may be the only way to get a photo for now until they actually open it to the public! --Bobak 21:03, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Circling back on this a decade and a half later...not so sure about the license now, but hopefully we'll start getting freely licensed ones of the completed work soon. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 21:40, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For my curiosity as a new Wikipedian, is it possible to take a photo of City and not have it be a derivative work? Maybe because of its scale? Does WP:Freedom of panorama come into play? Ductwork (talk) 04:52, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is the image we have legally there? On NPR, I heard that photos were prohibited by the artist. 2600:6C67:1C00:5F7E:4DCB:3D77:384D:EAE8 (talk) 14:54, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
