Wiki stand for what I know some may be true other not

Does anyone actually do research before they answer questions on this site, or do they just make stuff up? This answer is completely false and doesn't even make sense.

The truth is that the statue was assembled in New York, using the newly crafted materials sent from France. The statue was not green, AT ALL, when it was first erected. It gained it's green finish, known as patina, through oxidization about 20 years after it was erected. Patination is a natural process, that all copper which is exposed to the elements goes through, it has nothing to do with pollution. The statue wasn't "a little chipped", it was brand new, I'd like to see the references this person used...

Once again, pollution did not have anything to do with the green coloring. If you built a statue out of copper, and then sent it millions of years into the past, before man existed and before pollution, it would still oxidize and turn green. The pollution thing is just a myth.

I'm going to assume the person who asked this question wants to know what the

statue looked like when it was first built and not what it looked like 23 years after, which was 100 years ago. If, for some reason, they want to know what it looked like when it was 23 years old, then that answer is simple. When the statue was 23 years old, it looked just like it does now. The statue was recently renovated and looks about the same as it did after oxidization took place.
