Talk:D'Israeli (cartoonist)

message: I see this page has just been categorized as belonging to 'British calligraphers'. Is there not a category for 'British letterers'? Calligraphy is surely something rather different than the commercial skill of lettering a comic strip (which may nowadays be done by computer more than by hand). Shouldn't D either be cagtegoried under 'Comic book letterers' or under a (new) category of 'British comic book letterers'? Jenniscott (talk) 16:10, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, I have tracked down :Category:Comic book letterers (underused?) & got shot of all the British examples to there, adding it as a sub to the main calligraphers, as it technically counts I suppose. Calligraphy is not required to be amateur - far from it. Johnbod (talk) 21:05, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Good catch. Note the Eagle Awards have a letterer award so I have dropped a few more names from the 2007 nominations (and winner) into that category. (Emperor (talk) 22:27, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

text: Johnbod, I didn't mean to imply that calligraphers must be amateur, if that's what you took from my comment... but I did mean that it's normally seen as more artistic than it is commercial in nature. Possibly just my assumption mind you! Sounds like :Category:Comic book letterers is a go-er - it did seem pretty underused when I looked at it, yes. Jenniscott (talk) 11:26, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The category note links to letterer, which has a long list of them which has many more bluelinks not in the cat yet, if anyone feels keen .... Johnbod (talk) 13:00, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Bluelinks done, though I'm slightly uncertain about the scope of the term 'letterer'. To me, if someone does the job of lettering in a traditional comic book setup with pencils, inker, colourist, letterer - that's crystal clear. If they letter someone else's work where that other person may have taken on more than one of the mentioned roles, that's also clear. If someone letters their own work, that veers into cartooning territory to me, in which case it's hardly worth separating out the lettering role from the rest of the design and artwork. Not that I would push it, but in case anyone thinks it's worth being narrower about how this category is applied. Jenniscott (talk) 20:03, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Calligrapher - really? 

message: I find it unlikely that anyone would really be looking for this guy.  At the very least it should be a disambiguation page. 63.107.91.99 (talk) 19:28, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a note at the top of the page for disambiguation. To find D'Israeli instead of Benjamin Disraeli one would have to forget the Victorian PM's first name and mis-spell his second, and even then there's assistance to find the man you were looking for. Ewen (talk) 17:20, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  I disagree. People often try to find famous people - Prime Ministers, Presidents, authors, what have you - using their last names, arguably more so than their full names (probably more so now with the predictive search, which wasn't around in 2010). Considering the common English spelling of names like these with a capital d followed by an apostrophe, it's not much of a stretch to assume a fair amount of people would make the mistake of writing D'Israeli instead of Disraeli and finding this much, much less well known person. I think it would be better to direct D'Israeli to a disambiguation page and place both this D'Israeli and the Prime Minister as the two topmost and most prominent links. 91.182.253.145 (talk) 20:47, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
