No, I'm sure he would have done. Like OSM, Wikipedia is a work in
progress, and has plenty of potential for extra content.

In a similar vein, I've just written about one of his collaborators, Paula Woof:

Again, not all of her works seem to be mapped; and some on Wikipedia
need coordinates. I'm particularly keen to locate and find ndependent
sources for this heron, made for Centro:

and these silhouettes in Burnley:

Not that I'm aware of, but no doubt we have a common ancestor somewhere.
