Content deleted

It appears as if a lot of the content for this page was deleted (perhaps by accident?) on June 3, 2004 by IP 217.44.58.76. Several edits have been made since. What's the best way to revert back? Dmeranda 08:27, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

History of G is misleading

The current entry is misleading. It makes it seem as though the letter G is simply a spin-off of C. But the symbol "C" had the /g/ sound long before the /k/ and /s/ sounds were tacked on to it by the romans.

The real history of our G begins with the phonecians symbol, "Gimmel" (camel) which looked like a camel's hump. Gimmel stood for the /g/ sound. The Greeks turned Gimmel into Gamma, looking like a backward "7" and it still had only the /g/ sound. The Romans took Gamma and made C, which looked like "<" and still had the /g/ sound. The romans added the /k/ and /s/ sounds to this symbol. Later on, C was allowed to retain it's newer /k/ and /s/ sounds and the symbol G was created for the /g/ sound.

The part in the current article about "z" is confusing. Until G was invented, Z, with a /z/ sound was the seventh letter of the roman alphabet. The new G was given the seventh slot and Z was bumped to the end of the line. There is no phonetic relationship between G and Z.

"But the symbol "C" had the /g/ sound long before the /k/ and /s/ sounds were tacked on to it by the romans."

Huh? C was never pronounced [s] by the Romans ... that's what S was for. It was always [k].24.235.159.34 04:36, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why does the G page not have any pictures but the others do? Could they have been deleted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.94.26.157 (talk • contribs) 20:30, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Remove duplicated article contents

I cut a massive amount of text in which most of the entire contents of this article were duplicated by changes made by User:Munchkinguy on 16:58, 23 Nov 2004. As there were dozens of changes all made quickly thereafter a simple revert wouldn't work. I removed the second copy of the duplicated text. Anybody who made changes during Nov 23-24 of 2004 should double check the article. - Dmeranda 01:47, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Sorry about that. :-( --User:Munchkinguy 22:24, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Random Move.

User:Jamshaha, for some unexplained reason, moved "G" to "Mujeh Se". I assume this is vandalism? I moved it back. Dan 17:30, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I concur on the vandalism charge. Special:Contributions/Jamshaha shows no other relevant edits. I'm not sure exactly what was the purpose of the move, and will maintain my charge of "vandalism" pending explanation by Jamshaha... Tomer ^talk 10:01, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

G equals [x] in Spanish?!

That's certainly not true in Mexican Spanish, maybe in Castillian Spanish but not in Mexican. I'm going to make a note of that.Cameron Nedland 23:25, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Physics

What about "g" and "G" in physics? p sychomelo₍di_sc _ussion) 00:28, 11 March 2006 (UTC) da gang I added a link to G, the gravitational constant. In every class, its referred to as G, I agree that a "little g" for the acceleration due to gravity, should also be added. (unsigned)[reply]

We have a user who is moving all "other uses" to the disambiguation pages for all the letter articles. He is going at about one letter a day, working backwards from z. Today he did x. At that rate I calculate he will move your link to G (disambiguation) on approximately April 15. ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 20:46, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Slang: G equals God?

I was under the impression that in the Five Percenter movement G was used to refer to another Five Percenter (as it denoted a God), from whence it entered into English slang. Is this true, and if so, is the letter still used as such today? DTMck 04:40, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Letter images

The illustration of the Late Latin G appears to be set in Times New Roman. Would anyone be able to re-set it in a more historically-appropriate font? I'd be glad to do it myself, if someone can recommend a freely-available font. Same goes for the other images. —Michael Z. 2006-05-07 21:24 Z

Mark G and other people's nicknames

I think references to people nicknamed "G" should not appear on this page unless they meet the Wikipedia guideline of notability, Wikipedia:Notability, and in fact the person is commonly known as just the letter "G". I also think that before being listed here there should be a full (or stub) article on that person. Andrew G I think is okay, because there is a full article, he is notable, and he is commonly refered to just by the letter G. I'm not so sure about Mark G (though I'm not exposed to Australian media). There's no article, no full name, and even a Google search seems to pull up no useful references. So the listing in this article provides no useful information nor is it verifyable. Unless a better reference is provided, Mark G should probably be removed. — Dmeranda 17:25, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I cant see the opentail G .. is it just me?

When I go to the URL itself, it looks fine. (I have to do this manually as there is nothing to see.) But in the article itself only the closed-tail image appears. Is it just me? Haplolology ^Talk/_{Contributions} 08:24, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
