Little question
To User:Wehwalt:
Is me again.
"The resultant plaster models, made by Sinnock, were submitted to the Commission on March 13, 1926."
Which commission is this, Fine Arts Commission or National Sesquicentennial Exhibition Commission?--Jarodalien (talk) 14:02, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
And one more: "No further gold commemoratives, of any denomination, would be issued by the Mint Bureau until 1984." What happened at 1984?--Jarodalien (talk) 16:04, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
- Fixed in both case. Thank you for your careful read.--Wehwalt (talk) 16:41, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
- Translation done, thank you for follow up so soon.--Jarodalien (talk) 17:10, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
Spoken Wikipedia
Hello editors. My wife frequently suffers from
- Still, it is very nice of you to do that. Not everyone is able to use the printed page (so to speak), and you'll do a better job than Siri! Kudos to you.--Wehwalt (talk) 17:03, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
- It is done. It is not great, but having this one is better than nothing I presume. McKay (talk) 04:18, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
Is H. P. Caemmerer the same as Arno B. Cammerer?
Mentioned is H. P. Caemmerer, secretary of the
- It doesn't appear so. I'm looking at the 1926-1929 CFA report via Congressional ProQuest, and if. H.P. Caemmerer is listed as secretary since 1922,--Wehwalt (talk) 14:39, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
reference to John Frederick Lewis
Would a wikilink to John Frederick Lewis be appropriate here, maybe also a citation? Note, there is no mention of Lewis' submission of the sketches or Sinnock's adaptation of those sketches in the Lewis article. --Trilotat (talk) 13:06, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
- Sure, go ahead. Must have missed that there was an article. I don't have any opinion on what should be in the Lewis article.--Wehwalt (talk) 13:22, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
- I am unlinking the Orientalist English painter John Frederick Lewis (1804–1876) and referencing the American attorney and arts patron who was also named John Frederick Lewis (1860–1932) and died six years after the 1926 Sesquicentennial. He has no Wikipedia entry, but his vital dates and other details are briefly delineated here (bottom entry) —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 17:39, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
"Private advertising"
Does it really count as private advertising if Pass and Stow are defunct? Brutannica (talk) 14:31, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
- That's the way the source described it. The Dolley Madison silver dollar, a modern commemorative, has the Tiffany's logo on it (very small).--Wehwalt (talk) 14:39, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
Was John Frederick Lewis an artist?
I am editing the following sentence, "Lewis, an attorney and artist, was president of the
