Talk:John Day (printer)

Lead
The lead is certainly too short for a FA, especially one appearing on the main page in a few days. Perhaps someone who knows more about the subject should expand it? Mattyness (talk) 09:41, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I've lengthened it. qp10qp (talk) 04:13, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Type font
I removed this from the Actes and Monuments section:

[...] it is still considered one of the most beautiful Anglo-Saxon fonts ever produced

It would be nice to have some reference for this, otherwise it becomes a weasel term. JoaoRicardo 03:57, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Year of death
His year of death appears to be one year before it is claimed he sent in people to break up his son's premises. There is therefore a slight conflict on the dates.86.130.221.210 (talk) 00:46, 17 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Clarified. qp10qp (talk) 13:22, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Think there is still a small discrepancy "In 1584, he sent men to break into..." and "Day died in 1583.."86.130.221.210 (talk) 21:04, 17 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Whoops. Thanks for pointing that out. He died in 1584. Correction made. Budding Journalist 21:10, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Criteria
I think that this article is to short for awardem. It is good but not great one.--Vojvodaen (talk) 18:16, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I think it meets all of the criteria. RE: too short: Is there anything in particular you would like to see included in the article that isn't already there? Note that articles are judged on comprehensiveness (in this case, whether the major aspects of John Day's life is covered adequately), not some arbitrary set length.

 * Ok. I accsept your arguments. I am new here so I dont understand all aspects of the Wikipedia.--Vojvodaen (talk) 20:48, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * That's OK. If you have any specific concerns about the article, please do post them (or be bold and edit the article ;]). Happy editing! Budding Journalist 21:01, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
