Welcome![edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Mercury (typeface), have removed content without a good reason to do so. Content on Wikipedia should not be removed just because you disagree with it or because you think it's wrong, unless the claim is not verifiable. Instead, you should consider expanding the article with noteworthy and verifiable information of your own, citing reliable sources when you do so. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Page blanking is generally inappropriate. Content should be fixed or replaced, but there is no need to remove an existing redirect until the replacement content is written. —Ost (talk) 16:47, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also, apologies for the late welcome. I noticed your small number of edits, but had not noticed how long you had been around! —Ost (talk) 17:01, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi —Ost. I removed the reference to the typeface Mercury because (1) the typeface that the redirect links to is not the main typeface known by that name today. That honor goes to Hoefler & Frere-Jones' Mercury. That typeface has the distinction of having been added to the collection of MoMA, a rare honor for a typeface. The redirected Wikipedia page does not appear in the first three pages of a google search (just checked), which should speak to the relevance of the typeface under that name. The typeface that wikipedia now references is best known as Forelle. It has not merited it's own wikipedia page. I have extremely high trust in the editors of Fonts in Use, they are all named and known in type design circles as historians. Furthermore, no digital versions of Forelle have been published as "Mercury". I'm not really interested in doing a Mercury page, making new pages is so hard, I save it up for subjects I love. But that redirect isn't very helpful, I think it should go elsewhere, for instance to the Hoefler page.

I would suggest that you nominate Mercury (typeface) at Redirects for Discussion with an explanation like you have above, to start a discussion about the appropriate target or need for the redirect. —Ost (talk) 19:45, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
