I've uploaded two additional images of the Fountain to the Commons, should someone wants to make use of either of them in this article. Kelly Martin 14:21, September 11, 2005 (UTC)
I thought US gallons were bigger than litres?
The information regarding monitoring system is incorrect I think. They moved to an Allen-Bradley PLC system in 2013 according to this page. http://www.chicagoparkdistrict.com/parks/clarence-f-buckingham-memorial-fountain/
"The Chicago Park District upgraded the Buckingham Fountain computer in 2013 with a non-proprietary Allen-Bradley PLC System. Today, all of the automation and monitoring takes place on-site, with remote alarm monitoring and notification." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.171.131.175 (talk) 13:11, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 11:31, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The history section appears to have conflicting information, stating "with sculptures by Jacques Lambert" and "The statues were created by the French sculptor Marcel F. Loyau." Also the sentence "The design of the fountain was based on the Bassin de Latome and modeled after Latona Fountain at Versailles." seems to be repetitive as the Bassin Latona is French for the Latona Fountain.
