An editor took strong exception to my request for sources
for "popular
culture" items in the article on the Statue of Liberty. One

items was:
"The New York Liberty, New York's professional women's basketball team, has the Statue of Liberty as their mascot."
The editor said: "The fact that the NY Liberty b-ball team uses the SoL as its mascot does NOT need an outside citation, for
Pete's sake."
Even if true, it's not exactly interesting either.
It is if mascots are your passion. Trust me - such people exist, and can give you enough information about mascots in fifteen minutes to last you the rest of your life and then some. We cannot determine what sort of people our readers might be, and assuming that they are PLU would be a grave mistake.
