Re the recent revision of the date of construction to the mid-1980s, I'm not at all sure it/she's that old. Can anyone back this up?
And thanks for the photo, whoever added it.

Is the ad for the bar on the street relevent to this article?
I would like to offer a counterpoint, that knowing that the Delerium Cafe is on the same street actually will increase interest in the Jeanneke Pis, giving visitors additional incentive to seek it out. Plus, the Delerium Cafe is a pilgrimage spot in its own right: with visual artifacts (mainly many antique signs) of Begian brewing well worth being noted, not just the bar's beer offerings.
Looks like burnished bronze to me. Is that a replica? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 03:17, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
The article says "It was made by Denis-Adrien Debouvrie". The reference that links to says "Debouvrie owns several restaurants in the Beenhouwersstraat - the most famous restaurant street in Brussels – and many more in the area around the Market Square. In 1985, Debouvrie also took the initiative to make Jeanneke Pis, a female version of Manneken Pis, the world famous bronze fountain sculpture depicting a naked little boy urinating into the fountain's basin." Given that being a highly successful business man and good sculptor are both challenging careers that take a lot of time, I read that as saying he commissioned it, not that he was the artist who made it.--Prosfilaes (talk) 07:13, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
