Naming convention for typefaces

edit

Thank you for your comments at the Typography typeface collaboration. Please take a look at the naming convention discussion I am having with OrangeDog. My objective is to have a written standard naming convention for typefaces. --DThomsen8 (talk) 12:18, 24 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Josef Albers

edit

I appreciate all the work you have done rating unrated articles in the Wikiproject Graphic Design. I undid your removal of the WP Graphic Design template from the article Josef Albers. Albers, like most of the Bauhaus scholars, was truly multidisciplinary. In addition to painting, sculpture, glassblowing and color theory, he was one of the founding faculty of the Yale Graphic Design program, designed typefaces for advertising use, et cetera -- hardly a distant connection to the discipline. True, the article does not articulate this very well. But please verify facts before removing articles from wikiprojects. Best wishes, and thanks for all your assessment work UnkleFester (talk) 04:32, 7 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the correction. I must have read over the Graphic Design department of Yale. Perhaps the article should reflect his work in graphic design a bit more? As for rating unrated articles; I felt the WikiProject Graphic Design isn't very active (anymore?), and articles aren't being assessed very often it seems, so I thought I'd rate a couple of them.

Agreed -- the Albers article largely glosses over his work in design (as well as most of the other disciplines in which he was fluent) in favor of his painting. Not to overstate the case, but Albers was largely responsible for building the GD program at Yale, hiring Alvin Eisenman, Herbert Matter and Alvin Lustig. Re the WP-GD, it seems to be fairly inactive. Maybe because there isn't much of a plan for what members should do... Over the past few months I have added a few things to the WP-GD page set, mainly to get some visibility of what is "out there" to be done. I would be up for recruiting some new people, or trying to reactivate the current membership as time permits. UnkleFester (talk) 19:10, 9 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
I peek at the WP:GD page every now and then. I guess there isn't always something to do in the project, but it does seem to have died off a bit. Recruiting a few new people could help. Typehigh (talk) 02:56, 10 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

edit

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:10, 7 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
