DYK

 * You're welcome. I thought it was a very nicely put together article, especially for someone with less than 100 total edits! Looking forward to your next one :)


 * And oh, BTW, if you want to thank someone for your DYK's, I suggest you thank the person who reviewed and passed the article. They are the ones who do all the hard work, and after that stage it's all pretty much an automatic process. The guy who notifies you of the promotion is pretty much only a postman :) Gatoclass (talk) 05:36, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Benjamin Randolph (cabinetmaker)
Hi, Dictioneer. I started about a half-dozen articles on colonial cabinetmakers, and probably should have added "(cabinetmaker)" to each of them. Presuming your Benjamin F. Randolph and the other one were in different professions, is there a descriptive word that would work? I like disambiguation pages, but tend to wait until there is real likelihood of confusion to start one. Thank you for the compliments. - BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 21:09, 20 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your suggestion, but I'm content to link to the miniature of BR at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Good luck with the BFR article. - BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 15:32, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Unusual word, common word
(noticed misspellings corrected, which I also do when at-a-loss-for-more-gainful-brainwork)

A familiar word used in an unfamiliar way caught my eye a couple days ago. An article, an interview with the author John le Carré (penname), used the word 'graph' in a very unexpected way. I had to go looking for a believable meaning. Ah, well, literary people like talking about themselves... Shenme (talk) 01:19, 5 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes, typo correction is normally a late-night activity for me. I saw the interview, didn't catch it at the time. Slang is tricky, normally it would be spelled 'graf' to indicate its use in journalism/publishing as slang for paragraph. Perhaps whoever did the transcript had auto-correct turned on or didn't know the slang spelling. Happy word hunting! Dictioneer (talk) 04:27, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
