::Ahh... many thanks. Some off topics that I have to include here. I have created [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Numbers/Recognized content]], but it seems there are some incompleted lists. Perhaps this can be discussed in WikiProject. [[User:Dedhert.Jr|Dedhert.Jr]] ([[User talk:Dedhert.Jr|talk]]) 13:10, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
:::No problem. It looks like you did most of the work already, it was just the [[:Category:Wikipedia_1.0_assessments]] missing from the [[:Category:Polyhedra articles by quality]] and [[:Category:Polyhedra articles by importance]]. The bot should index the articles within 24 hours or so, when it does [[Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Polyhedra_articles_by_quality_log]] and [[User:WP 1.0 bot/Tables/Project/Polyhedra]] should turn blue. Re: the Recognized content page, that's very nice. Probably best to raise it at the wikiproject discussion, there are various bots and templates that can automatically populate these lists. <small>'''''[[User:Polyamorph|Polyamorph]]''''' ([[User talk:Polyamorph#top|talk]])</small> 13:18, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

I am puzzled why you seem to think that the deleted sentence: "The modern digit '1' did not become widespread until the mid-1950s." is obviously true. What am I missing? The "modern digit" seems to refer to a character with a vertical line, a top serif to the left, and a baseline serif to both sides. (Am I wrong?) But this just seems to be the normal form for the digit '1', um forever, almost. I'm looking at a page of sample typefaces (p. 408, "Books and Printing" Paul A Bennett) showing Baskerville, Bell, Bembo, and Bodoni book ar all extant decades before 1950. The claim struck me as very strange indeed. [[User:Imaginatorium|Imaginatorium]] ([[User talk:Imaginatorium|talk]]) 15:30, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
:Sans serif fonts, such as [[Helvetica]], were popularised in the 1950s, resulting in the simple standardised form of 1 that we see now. <small>'''''[[User:Polyamorph|Polyamorph]]''''' ([[User talk:Polyamorph#top|talk]])</small> 16:05, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
:I just checked, the fonts you mention, all have serifs at the bottom, the last two (Bembo and Bodoni) are similar to the Roman numeral. These are missing in (modern) sans serif fonts. <small>'''''[[User:Polyamorph|Polyamorph]]''''' ([[User talk:Polyamorph#top|talk]])</small> 18:52, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
