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)

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)
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)
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)
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
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)

What about "g" and "G" in physics? psychomelo(discussion) 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)
For the record, this entire section has now been moved to G (disambiguation), please continue further discussion there. Dmeranda 04:32, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
For historic reference, the version of this page just prior to the move of this entire section was version 113206977 as of 2007-03-06. From now on, please keep all edits and discussion about any uses, acronyms, or alternate meanings of "G" on the G (disambiguation) page, unless it is specifically concerning "G" as a letter of the alphabet. - Dmeranda (talk) 19:34, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
An additional hatnote
has been added to the page. I removed it stating that the link is already on G (disambiguation). It was reverted saying that "it is notable enough to not be hidden away on line 50 of a dab". I am not sure what makes it so notable that it needs its own hatnote. I think that "g" standing for gram is at least as notable as "g-force" and it does not deserve its own hatnote on this page.

(indent)Not everybody misdirected here is going to click the dab page (and they didn't need to until March 6 when all other meangings were removed), especially now we have autocomplete on the search box and internal search results, to help with specific searching on phrases. I find it totally unbelievable that 90% of the 2000 people a day want to read content solely about the letter G, and that its similarity to the total number looking at gravity and gram a day is a coincidence.

The lowercase g in the Google logo (which uses the Catull font) is a special case of the double-story variant, with the tail connecting at the right side of the top loop instead of the left. This distinctive lowercase G is currently the basis of their favicon. -- Adam KatzΔtalk 20:38, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

The article points out that there are "many English words of non-Romance origin where ‹g› is hard regardless of position (e.g. get)." In general, though, <g> in <ge> seems to be hard when followed by a plosive in the same syllable, except when <d> is added as an inflectional ending. energetic is an exception, but there don't seem to be many.Peter M.

The last paragraph under the heading 'Typographic variants' contains two instances of the citation needed tag. Here is the relevant section:
"Generally, the two forms are complementary, but occasionally the difference has been exploited to provide contrast. The 1949 Principles of the International Phonetic Association recommends using Opentail g.svg for advanced voiced velar plosives (denoted by Latin small letter script G) and Looptail g.svg for regular ones where the two are contrasted, but this suggestion was never accepted by phoneticians in general,[citation needed] and today 'Opentail g.svg' is the symbol used in the International Phonetic Alphabet, with 'Looptail g.svg' acknowledged as an acceptable variant and more often used in printed materials.[citation needed]"
Both instances of the citation needed tag can be satisfied with the following source: Pullum, Geoffrey K. and William A. Ladusaw. 1986. Phonetic Symbol Guide. Chicago & London: The University of Chicago Press, p. 58.

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)
Italic text== 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 phonetician symbol, "Gimme l" (camel) which looked like a camel's hump. Gimmes stood for the /g/ sound. The Greeks turned Gimme 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. (ghtdrgtrtgvrbgtrfgbvguygwks) U slept Romans wrong BIG DUMB NOOBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fuck'n idiots nothing but worthless idiots NOOBS..........................................
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)

[Suggested edits to the digraphs section, adding pronunciations/examples for completeness; removing word-final, word-initial, and loanwords-only limitations where appropriate; clarifying which examples aren't really digraphs; and reducing emphasis on vowel-length indication by gh and gn, which really only happens with i (and u in oppugn). Thanks, edited version below.]

Thanks for the quick response. I'm not sure what's appropriate in terms of sourcing, since the current text doesn't provide references. This correction only
1 and 2 are verified by the example words, 3 by the definition of digraph. Other changes, I think, are just stylistic. Do you think more support is needed?

I created a draft at Draft:George Hempl that I would like to know if anyone can add anything. This information is related to this article because one the draft is wikified and moved into the article namespace, this article's mention of Hempl can produce a link there. Any thoughts anyone has?? Georgia guy (talk) 23:09, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
The book that the short paragraph on Hempl's theory shows a reference to talks about it in detail. It starts out by reviewing the traditional theory on how G originated. When I read the appropriate pages, they go into a lot of detail on forms of zeta. (See the Jstor link itself for details.) Not included in the book the Jstor link talks about, however, is the following note:
Unlike the Greeks and Hebrews, the Romans didn't use letters as numbers (A=1, B=2, C=3, and so on.) As a result, it clearly makes sense that if G had come simply by attaching a line to C, it could have been placed either right after C (just as J was placed right after I) or at the end to represent that it's a new letter (just as Y and Z were.) (Two special notes about this paragraph are that we know that the Romans used I, II, III, IV, and so on; and that the word "could" is not "would".)
This section of the talk page is closely related to the infobox that Учхљёная added; I would like to know if we can use Hempl's theory as an "or possibly" group of images to be added to the infobox. Any opinions?? Georgia guy (talk) 17:14, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
In the year 1800, someone named John Smith was thought to have been born in Nashville. In 1899, however, research started to suggest that he was born in Memphis. But very few people paid attention to the research, and as late as now, the majority of people still think he was born in Nashville. Georgia guy (talk) 22:28, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

The character ℊ redirects here. In the Unicode standard it's labelled ‘real number symbol’. As far as I can tell it was present, along with this label, in the very first version of Unicode.

The GIF of the cursive letters is cute, but its position and presentation suggest that it is the standard way of writing a cursive G/g. The capital G in particular strikes me as extremely unusual (and I might not even recognize it). Some of the other cursive letter forms on the corresponding articles are also far from universal (A, N, Z, ...), not fully cursive (B, K, R, ...), or downright eccentric (Q). I think these GIFs should either be removed entirely, or included further down, with a (sourced) caption that points out which school system these letter shapes are taught in.
