Copperplate Gothic
Hi Pinkfairywand. The link you've returned to the article Copperplate Gothic is supposed to be a collection of examples of Copperplate Gothic but is loaded with examples of typefaces that are not Copperplate Gothic. I am not big fan of the typeface, but believe links should lead to accurate and verifiable information. CApitol3 12:11, 14 May 2007 (UTC) Howdy, you folks have misidentified several of your examples as Copperplate Gothic. They are not. I wrote to you a long while back regarding this. In your samples you include samples of ITC Barcelona, Beaufort, Cantoria, ITC Elan, and ITC Elan Small Capitals. It is the erroneous inclusions that caused me to delink the site.

I am not speaking of other types that have been included on your site because they were proximate to Copperplate. I do not expect all links to be laudatory, negative is fine. But the nature of your site is opinion. CApitol3 16:58, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Pinkfairywand. By the way, great user name! Hey, on the use of non-Copperplate faces on your site, we will have to disagree. I have a distinct memory of some signs you had that were in what looked to be a quick mart that were most defintely not Copperplate. I teach typography, and used to work in a type house. Your sign made me grab an old specimen book to identify it as Barcelona. I had a teacher who said "there are no bad typefaces, only typefaces you don't yet know how to use." He told me that while I was bemoaning Korinna. I still dislike it, but see some of his point. And, how about a site about typefaces you actually like? CApitol3 19:24, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Pinkfairywand, hey, I surely do not love Copperplate Gothic, but your controversy setion is unencyclopedic and does not pass wikipedia's criteria for third-party verification. If you can find a typographic journal, or graphic design magazine that backs up your claim than please cite and restore it. Wikipedia discourages links to blogs. Blogs are not verifiable information and are mostly subjective by design. I've added comments to the discussion page. Please note that the Flick page has many images erroneously identified as Copperplate.CApitol3 18:04, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
