Talk:D with stroke

message: I recommend a few changes to the article to bring it to GA status:
*The caption "A variant form." is ambiguous -- what makes this form a variant? (I know, it's the lowered stroke, but explicitly tie this into the text.)
*The "Latin" section is in need of expansion. For instance, this section might mention approximately when this form was in use, and perhaps why it might have started. I think a little more detail here would improve the breadth of coverage.
*Citations are needed for the Vietnamese, Slavic, and Sami applications of đ.
*The reference to the "controversial issue" of Balkan languages should link to an article explaining the controversy.
*I found the image accompanying "Phonetic transcription" to be confusing. At first I thought đ was being used as a letter in High German, due to the name of the book; it was not clear that the book was actually describing the phonetics of several different languages. Please clarify this in the caption.
Beyond that, the article meets the criteria. The nomination is on hold for a week to allow the changes to be made. Twinxor t 08:45, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  GA nom suggestions 

message: Since this article has been taken off hold, I will evaluate it. First I will respond to issues brought up by Twinxor: (the article may have been changed since their comments)
#I don't think the variant form caption is bad, maybe a note should be made in the text about how it is used rather than just in the caption. 
#I think the latin section is informative. It could be expanded but it doesn't leave the reader with huge questions.
#I'll make this link
#I liked this image and didn't find it confusing, but maybe others would. The caption could definitely be clearer. I may do this myself.
I will put this article on hold for a week to let changes be made.

message: Is the Sami letter "D with stroke" distinct from Eth (ð)? Did this distinction exist before 1979? -- Petri Krohn (talk) 21:22, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: However, Sami languages#Orthographies says the same – only, again, without a source. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 18:51, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

text:  That page cites Sami orthography as the main article, and a source is there.  I cannot read it for myself, but I'll put it in this article.  —Toby Bartels (talk) 21:00, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sami languages? 

message: :File:Wright germanic spirants.gif shows đ being used in Germanic languages — for the sound , where I'd expect to see a thorn (þ), and separately from eth (ð) — according to Joseph Wright's Old High German Primer, second edition (1906), but there's no mention of it in the article.
Can someone expand on this? — OwenBlacker (talk; please  me in replies) 18:31, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
