Schoolbook characters

If you look at https://www.behance.net/gallery/28579883/Cormorant-an-open-source-display-font-family and compare the standard, Garamond, and infant sets, you will see variations in the capital U and W—the infant U has a tail/serif on the right, and the infant W isn’t crossed. Peace. —MuzikJunky (talk) 20:30, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

• @MuzikJunky:, OK, thanks for letting me know. I think, though, that it probably isn't a good idea to mention this as I don't know of any "professional" fonts that use this - Cormorant is (while very nice) mostly an amateur project. Keen to know if you know of one that does, though. Blythwood (talk) 15:43, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Molly Nilsson

Thanks for noticing. You see, now I'm writing rough pages and, of course, they are lacking of information so far. But as soon as possible I will add it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Synpathic (talk • contribs) 16:57, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

• @Synpathic:, OK but please do as fast as possible. It's up to you to add this and they may be marked for deletion as unfinished if you don't. My advice is read this guide and draft articles until they are finished and ready to post. Blythwood (talk) 16:58, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

BLPPROD

Hiya! I happened on the Carmen Reyes through NPP and thought I'd touch base because I did the exact same thing a month or two ago--the BLPPROD procedure is so bizarre, it is so weird that citing an unreliable source is enough to avoid BLPPROD. I was actually thinking of hopping into the talk page over there because I think the lead on that explanation could really use revision to clarify how it's supposed work (at minimum--frankly I think maybe it'd be better eliminated altogether, but that's a bigger conversation). If you're interested in discussing too, lemme know! Meanwhile I just reverted the auto-notice to the user's talk page, just for clarity. Thanks! Innisfree987 (talk) 16:45, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Many, many thanks!

I wanted to thank you so much for taking the time to review my article on Maie Bartlett Heard. I really appreciate the time you took to add more to the article (links) and for the suggestions you made to improve the article. I'll be working on it over the next few weeks. Have a great night!

Typography Article Edits

Hi Blythwood, I want to let you know that today I've made some edits to some typography articles on which you've worked. I added citations located by students in a university-level typography research class, to whom I taugh research skills. I hope that they add to the article. Feel free to make any adjustments you see fit. I'm still relatively new at editing. Cheers, Saccarte (talk) 17:35, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

• Saccarte - I just saw your edits on my watchlist, thanks for all of them! I've edited a lot of the typography articles, but the history of printing is purely an amateur interest, so I'm sure you know more about it than I do. Let me know if you need any help with anything on here or if I've got it all wrong. Blythwood (talk) 17:42, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome note! Question on my draft

Hi Blythwood, thank you for the welcome note that you left me and all the useful links.

Do you think you would be able to review the API management draft? It was submitted for review on Sept 23. Thanks!

Want to help test advanced new tools planned for Recent Changes?

Hi Blythwood! I’m reaching out to you because our logs tell us you’re an active Twinkle new user welcomer. The WMF Collaboration team is working on new tools that we hope will be useful to people engaged in reviewing recent changes, fighting vandalism or supporting new users. We want to test them for usability with editors who are experienced with relevant wiki work. If you’re interested in helping to shape this new technology—we’d like to hear from you.

The testing should take about an hour, will be conducted online, and will take place during the next few weeks. To participate, please email dchen[at]wikimedia.org with the subject line Twinkle Welcomer. Include the following information:

• Username

• Email where we can reach you

• Your city or time zone

• Best time to talk to you

• Your primary use(s) of Twinkle or Recent Changes (e.g., reviewing recent changes, reviewing with a particular focus (specify), anti-vandalism, new-page review, welcoming new users, etc.)

Thanks! Dchen (WMF) (talk) 22:36, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Jacob Cass

Hi Blythwood. I see you have tagged Jacob Cass for speedy deletion per G4 and G11. Just thought you should know that I also tagged it for speedy per G4, but that was declined. It might be necessary for this to be brought to AfD again to resolve. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:22, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

for reviewing my article Longshan Grotto. Pyrusca (talk) 16:48, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Trajan (typeface)

May I ask why you removed the whole section about usage? I think that is useful/interesting, no? PointOfPresence (talk) 14:08, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

• Hi PointOfPresence. I was doing a tune-up of the article, previously almost unsourced, and I have to admit I think it's a very big list, completely unsourced, and I hadn't the patience to source every single use of it - this is one of the most popular fonts in the world, so the number is not small. Fonts in Use also do a good job of covering this kind of thing in the most interesting cases. For an obscure font like URW Grotesk, it's interesting to note the uses, but for this, a default font with the world's most popular pro design software the uses are almost infinite... But feel free to add uses if you know of them and think they are particularly interesting. Blythwood (talk) 19:04, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Peterborough City Police

Hello Blythwood, Thank you for adding a source pointer to a page I have started (Peterborough City Police) when I clicked to look at the page (pg111) I noticed my old Dads name mentioned! Wow coincidence or what? and your username... Blythwood, my mothers maiden name was 'Blythe' and live as a child near Marholm 'Woods' (Peterborough) I have given you thanks! have a good day. --Swainys-Boy (talk) 09:37, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

Re: Declaring Affilition

I had no idea this was a thing, but it makes perfect sense of course. I have declared on the appropriate page to hopefully make my relationship clear. Cheers and thank you for letting me know about this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdamKaz (talk • contribs) 20:52, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Re: Katherine Clerk Maxwell / James Clerk Maxwell pages

Many thanks for reviewing my new page and adding a link from James Clerk Maxwell's page. Much appreciated ;) NicolaOsborne (talk) 21:01, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Re: Jeffrey Collins

I've added some more categories and explained what positions he held - having held notable positions like a professorship is worth noting to demonstrate notability by Wikipedia standards. Hope that's OK.

Yes no problem. I started this as part of an Editathon today and hope to continue at part 2 tomorrow. Eoinho (talk) 22:57, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
