Talk:Two penny blue

Untitled

Should be moved to Two Penny Blue in conformity with text, usage & similar articles. Rothorpe (talk) 16:32, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

...Meaning the words should be capitalised. Rothorpe (talk) 21:28, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

I tried, but Two Penny Blue exists (as a redirect) and I can't delete it to prepare for the move. Huw Powell (talk) 22:21, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

I would like to see more evidence as there seem to be different ways of writing it. The British Postal Museum appears to only use 2d blue. To make such a change you would have to ask an admin to do it for you based on consensus. Never do a cut and paste because that would destroy the histories. ww2censor (talk) 08:51, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Article errors

The article to which this talk applies contains a number of errors and omissions. The 2d Blue was actually issued in parallel to the Penny Red until 1879 and deserves a similar treatment which explains its usage as a number of perforated issues with differing perforation gauges and watermarks in similarity. If and when I have time, I will prepare something, or perhaps others more scholarly than me would be willing to undertake this? In the meantime, the illustration at top right of the page is simply wrong as the 'white lines added' stamp was not issued in 1840. It should be replaced with an illustration of the true 'no white lines' stamp which was issued on 8th May 1840. 109.145.41.253 (talk) 10:17, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
