Scott Ananian ( talk) 22:05, 7 November 2016 (UTC) Reply Did you look at the 9th? I think the 10th column was a reprint of the column on the 9th. Citation found! It was actually from Tuesday, February 10, 1885, but to Boston Public Library had it on microfilm: see bottom left corner of File:Boston Journal (first page only).png. Over the course of a few weeks it appears in several different newspapers around the country. Kaldari ( talk) 19:45, 26 January 2011 (UTC) Reply There is also mention of this phrase in the paper The Boston Journal, Monday February 9th, 1885: "-A favorite copy set by writing teachers for their pupils is the following, because it contains every letter of the alphabet: A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog". There is mention of an early use of this phrase in the Yonkers Gazette as well, although since this use hasn't actually been located no one knows if it predates the Michigan School Moderator or not. Several other early sources also use this variation. Since this seems to get changed (and vandalized) fairly often, I would like to record here that the quotation in the Michigan School Moderator reads: ""The following sentence makes a good copy for practice, as it contains every letter of the alphabet: 'A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.'" Note that the phrase in this case begins with the word "A" rather than "The".
I'll leave this here for 2 weeks, and if nobody has any objections, I'll remove the ones I think deserve removal at that time. Arguably NN will consider removing laterĪnyway. No Source I can find one for this trivially, and will.
I trust this is a non-controversial edit, so I will do it now. Ultimately, I'd keep this with the "celebrated" removed. I don't know enough about Stephen and his own notability to determine either way. I imagine his paper doesn't say that it's celebrated. I actually didn't remove this, but it's borderline, mainly on notability grounds Primary Source Notability Feels like criticism, in the "just sayin!" form.
The section is a mess, unsourced, and filled with a ton of cruft from every corner of the web. Thanks for reverting me without addressing any of the concerns I had. My question is that is visual art only in an art gallery? Doesn't the pop cultural references also count as visual art, though not a "Picasso"? - Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.194.70.73 ( talk) 00:26, 23 August 2011 (UTC) Reply RE: my apparent "blanking" of the popular culture section Kaldari ( talk) 06:48, 9 June 2011 (UTC) Reply

I have to question the end of the intro paragraph "and is often used in visual art." Although I'm sure it has been used in artworks, as a professional artist and art critic I can't think of a single example, and none are given (apart from the pop cultural references cited). I don't have any reliable sources located yet but I'm curious if other editors think that this subject would be appropriate for inclusion in this article.Ħ8.47.39.247 ( talk) 23:25, 8 June 2011 (UTC) Reply I've heard of using "The quick brown fox." as a test phrase by English speaking morse operators and occasionally in more recent telecommunications set ups since it is a popular pangram.
