Talk:Adam Ramage

New article
New sources and added content welcomed. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 01:16, 18 December 2022 (UTC)


 * here’s another source that doesn’t seem to be in the article yet: http://www.woodenpress.info/census/adam-ramage-presses/
 * How reliable is it? And if it’s reliable enough, is there any data we could add from it? Btzl (talk) 19:55, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * — Thanks for taking an interest. It's difficult to say if the source in question is reliable, as it only makes sort of a generic reference to " Proudly powered by WordPress ", however, the images seem usable, but I'm not sure if they're copyrighted. This source makes some interesting references to "The common press", "The "Ramage two-pull Press", "The ‘Ramage proof Press" and the "The ‘Philadelphia press’", and I've come across some of these terms in the sources. The article is still in the 'constructive' phase, so I'll better cover these things in the immediate and near future. Any other insights you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Once again, many thanks. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 23:41, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for responding and for the input, will throw in some batches of edits on this page as able (came across another possibly good source, which I’ll show here in a sec). If you disagree with any changes, feel free to revert and discuss here, or tweak as needed.
 * Wanna eventually get a DYK from this page too? (You seem to have a good streak of successful DYKs among your page creations, nice work!)
 * Best, Btzl (talk) 08:54, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * p.s. it’s nice to run into a fellow Californian, hope you like it here, I certainly do.

 * Thanks. I'm still undecided about a hook for a DYK nomination -- I got until tomorrow to come up with an interesting one. Hopefully by this evening. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 20:12, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * turns out most of the sources I found are already in the article. The images in question are probably copyrighted (I would assume?). Anyways, went in and did a couple minor fixes (spelling, capitalization) and will see if I can do more. Btzl (talk) 23:29, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * The image of the Ramage press is taken from a public domain book: Ringwalt, 1871, page 382. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 21:15, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * nice image, thanks for sharing; do you know how to get it into Commons so we can use it on this page? Btzl (talk) 22:03, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
 * The image in question is already at Commons. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 22:10, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
 * oh nevermind then, I thought you were referring to a different image in the pg. 382 link.
 * By the way, just a heads-up if it's of any interest, I just added entries on relevant WP pages for Adam and Ramage, please feel free to review and tweak/improve as desired. Btzl (talk) 22:16, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
