I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Sofia Pro. Thanks! microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 14:37, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello Marcus,

Many thanks for your comment. I had intended to develop the section on Mélenchon and his poster campaign using the Sofia Pro font. But I think it's a good idea to insert it in the previous paragraph with the other enumerations. I'll see if I can find something for the ^{[need quotation to verify]} if not, I'll remove or modify the beginning of this paragraph. Anthosalba (talk) 19:27, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi Anthosalba, I've seen your sandbox and the draft you've created (Sofia Pro, which is now in the draftspace) and I was wondering if you needed some assistance or had any quesitons about the submission process.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Hoary was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Grossly underreferenced.

And where it is referenced, it's often referenced inappropriately. Consider this example: Its success is largely due to its adoption by many designers worldwide, as well as its use by several international companies in their communications. In 2024, Sofia Pro is used by more than 14 million daily users and appears on 70 billion web pages. Its Regular styles appear on over 7 billion web. The reference for this? I quote: Gourvat, Olivier (10 February 2025). "Reflexions about the new version of Sofia Pro". Olivier Gourvat Website. Retrieved 10 February 2025. So the reader is expected to believe that this "typeface" or "typeface family" (the lead can't decide) is on "70 billion web pages" because its creator says so.

But it gets worse. Gourvat doesn't write this. Instead, he writes: in 2024 alone, more than 14 million daily users and over 70 billion web page* views relied on Sofia Pro. Sofia Pro Regular styles content on more than 7 billion web pages every day (* source : Adobe Fonts). So not web pages but web page views, over the space of a year, and (he says) according to "Adobe Fonts". --

Hello Hoary,

Thank you very much for your detailed feedback. You're right — I hadn’t noticed the distinction between page views and unique pages. Your comments are very relevant, and I will take them into account to revise the article. I will rework the relevant sections using reliable and independent secondary sources, especially regarding the usage data mentioned. Please don’t hesitate to point out any other areas that could be improved. I truly welcome your suggestions.

I have made several revisions based on your feedback. Specifically, I clarified the text regarding page views and unique views related to the use of Sofia Pro, attributing these statements explicitly to the type designer. I also added references for certain usages, drawing on Fonts in Use, which is a recognized authority for documenting typeface usage in context. Additionally, I removed several passages that lacked reliable sources. If you have the time, could you please review these changes? Anthosalba (talk) 10:18, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
