  • @Blythwood: hi there! couple questions about the sourcing:
    • The type did not become popular.[o] does the ref in the o cite the back half of that passage?
    • Where are the example pages cited to?
    • Ditto for the quote that begins Feeling, naturally, regret that the honoured and historical name of "Caslon" should die out...
  • Sorry about that, we'll get this promoted in a jiffy once this is cleared up. Thanks! theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/she) 23:25, 8 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Promoting to Prep 1, without the image (as there is much competition for the image slot. By my count, out of the 107 verified nominations, around 40 have images. Only 1 of 8 nominations can have image. So, only around 13-14 would be given the image slot) – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 09:35, 11 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
