Room for expansion
Nick Garrett shows this image as Sharpington's work but doesn't give details on attribution. Might have to contact him... Blythwood (talk) 01:15, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Edits
Hi, thanks for the ping. I've added a new source citing Glenn Adamson, although I'd definitely argue the sources are accceptable (I'd regard Mark Simonson as a subject-matter expert, the New York Times has referred to him several times now about the difficulties of getting period lettering detail right. The Astbury source is as I understand it her university thesis.) But I've added a new source now, let me know if you want to add others. With the quote...I think it's a good summary to have in the intro, it's nice to have a quick summary of his historical position and how people view his place in his field, but I've rephrased it to make it feel more like a subjective opinion. But anyway, thanks for promoting it! Blythwood (talk) 22:46, 4 November 2023 (UTC)


 * thanks for the response! This mostly checks out, except WP:THESIS specifies that undergrad theses usually don't make the cut on source reliability. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 06:01, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
