Regarding File:FontDisplays.PNG and File:FontDisplays.JPG[edit]

The Windows user interface elements, particularly the Windows XP titlebar, have a highly distinctive appearance (being large, shiny, either blue, olive or silver, and having a red close button) which I recognized. According to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Screenshots#Microsoft_products "the precise appearance of standard operating system widgets in some themes may or may not be copyrightable.", so it is recommended to use only free software, using only free graphics, displaying only free content (e.g. not copyrighted webpages or documents). Raster images of fonts are not thought to be copyrightable, though the alternate image I created uses only free fonts. Note also that PNG is far superior to JPEG for screenshots, so FontDisplays.JPG seems redundant. --nandhp (talk) 22:49, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It contains both nasals [m] and [ɱ] (as in 'symphony'), the fricatives [x] (as in 'loch') and [ç] (as in 'hue'), and the 'dark L' [ɫ] (as in 'all') - in other words, it contains different allophones.)

Perfect pangrams from restricted sets 

United States and Canada Postal codes

Four perfect pangrams using the postal abbreviations of the US states and territories and the Canadian provinces and territories are:

  • AZ, DE, FL, GU, KS, MB, NJ, OH, PR, QC, TX, VI, WY
  • AZ, DE, FL, GU, MB, NJ, OH, PR, QC, SK, TX, VI, WY
  • AZ, FL, GU, HI, KY, MB, NJ, OR, PE, QC, SD, TX, WV
  • AZ, FL, GU, KY, MB, NJ, OH, PE, RI, QC, SD, TX, WV

QC = Quebec Canada, GU = Guam, United States Territory 

United States airport codes

Airports have two abbreviations each: ICAO codes and IATA codes. ICAO codes are 4 letters each, IATA codes are 3 letters each. As 26 is neither divisible by 3 nor 4, any perfect pangram must contain a combination of them. The only possible 26-letter combinations contain either six IATA codes and two ICAO codes or 2 IATA codes and 5 ICAO codes; the latter is impossible because all ICAO codes in the United States begin with a "K" or a "P", so only two can be used. Therefore, all airport code pangrams consist of 6 IATA codes and 2 ICAO codes. Here is one of many examples, in which only airports deemed "primary" by the FAA are used and where no two are in the same state:

  • CMX, EYW, GJT, ORF, SUN, VDZ, KABQ, PHLI
Chemical element symbols

It is not possible to make a perfect pangram out of current chemical element symbols, but it is possible using two disused ones. Unq, for unnilquadium, now known as rutherfordium, Rf, is in every pangram, as it is only one of two chemical symbols with a Q. The two Us in Uuq (ununquadium, now known as flerovium, Fl) prevent its use. The other letter necessitating disused symbols is J; the available symbols are J (for iodine, I), Jg (for argonium/hafnium, Hf), or Jo (for joliotium/dubnium, Db).

Here is one of many possibilities using Jo: 

Country codes

All countries have a two letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code. Here is an example of a pangram using these: 

Self-enumerating pangrams

A self-enumerating pangram, or a pangrammic autogram, is a pangram which describes the number of letters it itself contains. The first such sentences were constructed in 1984 by Rudy Kousbroek and Lee Sallows.<ref>"Sallows, L., In Quest of a Pangram, Abacus, Vol 2, No 3, Spring 1985, pp 22-40" (PDF). Retrieved 2014-06-23.</ref> 

Initial letter pangrams

An initial letter pangram is a sentence in which all the letters of the alphabet occur as first letter of each word - preferably in alphabetical order. Thus a sentence will count 26 words. Some examples in Dutch:

  • Achter Beatrix’ cementen demente echtgenoot fluisteren geen heiligen in Japanse kimono’s langzame mantra’s, noch preken quasi-intellectuele rijmpjesvertellers Sinterklaasachtige terzines uit versboeken, wel xylofoneren yogaleraren zangstukken. (Translation: Behind Beatrix demented husband made of cement whisper no saints in Japanese kimonos slow mantras, nor preach quasi-intellectual rhyme tellers Christmas-like tercets from verse books, but play yoga teachers vocal pieces on the xylophone).
  • Als buitenzintuiglijke chirurgen drugs en fantastische geestverruimende heroïne in jouw kop loslaten, mag Nederland, ondanks protesten, quota regulerend stellen tot uiterlijk voorbij waar xtc-slikkende yuppies zeggen. (Translation: If extrasensory surgeons release fantastic hallucinogenic drugs and heroin in your head, the Netherlands may set, despite protests, regulating quotas to the point where ecstasy swallowing yuppies say).

A three-sentence example in English, containing three consecutive initial letter pangram sentences which alternate in descending, ascending, descending order:

  • Zidane, Yiddish xylophone wonder, vanquished undesirables through simply rendering quisling patterns on neatly maintained long keys, justly instigating heartfelt gratitude for exemplary deeds captured by audio. Adoring brilliant creativity, daring entrepreneurs funded grand halls, inducing judicious kibitzing, lessened measurably night one; perhaps quelled rapidly since tickets usually vanished when xylophonophilics yelled “Zidane!” Zealots yodeled xylophone whimsies, violently upending the standard rigor quieter patrons observed, neatly mutilating long-kept jive interactions, harmony gone, frantically enabling dire change by armfuls.

Greek

The first Greek pangram (Γαζίες καὶ μυρτιὲς δὲν θὰ βρῶ πιὰ στὸ χρυσαφὶ ξέφωτο) contains no letter psi (Ψψ).--201.239.232.164 (talk) 19:19, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Actually, it's worse than that: it also contains no η or λ. As far as I can trace it, this "pangram" is due to Δημητριος Φιλίππου (Dimitrios Filippou), in an article reporting (if Google Translate is correct) the results of a pangram competition, in "The Eftypon", Issue 9, October 2002, a journal dedicated to using TeX in Greek. I have no idea why he included it, given its non-pangrammatical nature, but I've removed it from the main page. Someone else who feels better about Greek can check the article and perhaps explain why it's there, and then add it back to the page if necessary. Tahnan (talk) 10:49, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Icelandic

The sentence "Sævör grét áðan, því úlpan var ónýt" is not a pangram as it lacks b, d, e, f, h, i, j, k, m, o, u, x and y and therefore should not be listed as one. It is already listed under sentences that contain "only letters with diacritical marks and other national specific letters". If there are no objections I will remove it from the list of pangrams. --213.176.153.106 (talk) 13:21, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Съешь ещё этих мягких французских булок, да выпей же чаю (Russian)

Currently the translation is shown as "Eat more of these soft French loaves and drink tea." This is definitely wrong, as съешь is not an imperative. I think a better translation would be "You'll eat more of these soft French loaves, so have some tea!" I'm going to edit this into the article, but if anyone knows of a translation that's better yet, please change it. 86.7.16.29 (talk) 00:34, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply] 

"kurd"?

"Vext cwm fly, zing, jabs kurd qoph" seems like it should be moved to the section below. "Kurd" is a proper noun, exclusively, unless I'm missing something. Joefromrandb (talk) 19:54, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I removed this one, as it was already listed in the section below, with "Kurd" properly capitalized. Joefromrandb (talk) 16:59, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"crwd"?

"Junky qoph-flags vext crwd zimb." My issue here is "crwd". I can find no mention of this word anywhere. As it's used in this sentence, it appears to be the equivalent of "crwth". An alternate name for the crwth is "crowd", but I can find no mention of "crwd" being an alternate spelling. Joefromrandb (talk) 20:11, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Crowd", "rote", "crout", "crouth", "chorus", "crotta", and "cruit", are all given as alternate names in our crwth article. I find no mention of "crwd" there, or anywhere else on the internet. Joefromrandb (talk) 20:17, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Not in the Oxford dictionary either. I plan to remove it soon, but will wait to see if anyone can provide a valid definition, with a source. Joefromrandb (talk) 20:25, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strike all that. I stand corrected. Joefromrandb (talk) 16:21, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Norwegian

&gt;Since Norwegian orthography doesn't include c, q, w, x or z, except in foreign borrowings that haven't been naturalised, the possible pangrams including all the 29 letters of the Norwegian alphabet will require using two or more words with a distinctly foreign spelling.

Hence, it would be interesting to have some pangrams without c, q, w, x or z consisting of native words.

Well known It should be mentioned that "Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz" was the guinness book of records shortest pangram for years, at least in the 70s. I dont know what superceded it eventually.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:51, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply] 

I'm going to remove a lot of these

A pangram must consist of words. Abbreviations and acronyms don't count. Therefore, I will remove a whole bunch of these. I dare anyone to revert me. Chutznik (talk) 22:14, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Which of these are words and which are abbreviations or acronyms?

This article needs cleanup

This article has definite potential, but as it is right now, anyone can add any pangram to this article, whether they got it from somewhere else or just thought it up. As much as I appreciate the one about Quincy Pondexter, I don't think this is ideal. The English list is bloated, and includes such examples as "Use B, C, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, O, P, Q, R, T, V, W, X, Y, and Z." I think ideally, this list should contain mostly examples found elsewhere. I will try at least to clean up the notes following each example. <sub>(suoı̣ʇnqı̣ɹʇuoɔ · ʞlɐʇ)</sub> nɯnuı̣ɥԀ 20:11, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Minesweeper in Windows 7 Expert Level.png[edit]

⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Minesweeper in Windows 7 Expert Level.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:40, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:A commonly used style for many microsoft games, originating with Microsoft Minesweeper.png[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:A commonly used style for many microsoft games, originating with Microsoft Minesweeper.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Aasim (talk) 18:11, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
