This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

edit request: incorrect details

Old text:

This version of the work did not possess the halo due to its stylistic nature and the prevalence of graffiti in the underground (not given reason). After a few days (incorrect) the halo was repainted by a graffitist (guess), so Transport for London disposed of the poster (not true, poster still exists)

New text:

This version of the work did not possess the halo due to concerns from TFL of encouraging graffiti. However, the halo was repainted within a day, so Transport for London removed the poster.

-Has it occurred to anyone that 'Banksy' may be more than one person, collaborating with each other?--[[User:Dunnhaupt|dunnhaupt]] ([[User talk:Dunnhaupt|talk]]) 18:33, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

-:Actually it did. But you know how Wikipedia works, unless it is stated in a "reliable" source, it is purely speculative and a big No-No. Also, all sources, including Banksy him-/her-/themselve refer to him/her/them as a single person. Albeit, in the documentary "Banksy and the rise of outlaw art" there's mention that the works of course it takes several people to prepare a piece and that, in the end, Banksy is the one having to put it up and risk being caught and arrested. Make of that what you will. [[Special:Contributions/84.164.195.171|84.164.195.171]] ([[User talk:84.164.195.171|talk]]) 15:02, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
