And so the questions begin... :) First off, chapter 75 has the title "P. P. C." I take it this is an abbreviation of "Peregrinatio Pro Christo", used with some irony, I assume, as Phineas is anticipating perpetual "exile" from parliament back in his native Ireland.
Does this require anything more than: <abbr>P. P. C.</abbr>? With spaces? It does not appear in the text, only in the chapter title.Thanks! / D.

Thinking again about a possible cover. Any reactions to this? My reservation is that there's no obviously "Phineas Finn" type character in the assemblage, though this sort of gathering is appropriate to the narrative.
It’s PD status is good, and it’s close enough to the period to not matter. If you find something better, great, but if you want to use it, I think it’s fine.
Hope I'm not trying folk's patience with canvassing one more. I think this one could be IT. It's CC0 from the Birmingham Museums Trust (one of the ones in the Manual's "approved" sources), Edwin Edwards, The Thames at Westminster (1878 - given Phineas Finn was published in 1869 isn't too shabby).

(That's the full height of the painting; it is much, much wider.) I think it's sufficiently different from that Monet series mentioned in the original post in this thread — although we'll need the Editor in Chief's sense of that one! ;) Phineas's career very much centres on his life at Westminster, so this fits beautifully (IMO).Again, any thoughts on this appreciated. Thanks!D.

I think I'll keep looking, but this could work (if it passes muster) if I don't find anything more suitable.

It seems slightly tilted. Or is that my eyes?

Thank you, both - my inclination was not to italicize/semanticate, but ... as Vince said, a bit of a judgment call.My plan is to leave as regular type (it seems to me more like a corporation name or, as David says, a slogan). It is, perhaps, telling that in each of the two cases the phrase appears it is in conjunction with their "offices". Now, would the quotation marks be retained or removed in the second case?
<__bannop.png>Thanks again! D.

We’re pretty free with publication tags when it comes to abbreviations or “shorter” versions, even when those shorter versions don’t necessarily correspond to exact wording. Gibbon, e.g., used three or four different wordings sometimes to describe the same book (none of which were the actual name of the book).So, if you think that’s referring to the name of the paper, just worded differently, then it should be tagged. But if, as David suggests, it’s the paper's slogan, then it should not be.Separately, I don’t generally use Editorial for formatting changes, e.g. quotes to italics and vice versa, removing italics, etc. But if you keep your commits small it doesn’t matter, as it can be easily changed (either way) if need be.

Can I get a little guidance on a semantics question?There is a newspaper frequently appearing (30x) in the novel called People's Banner. It is, of course, regularly marked up this way:<i epub:type="se:name.publication.newspaper">People’s Banner</i>Twice, however, there is reference to "Banner of the People", once in the the `dateline` of a letter, `Banner of the People Office`, and once referring to a reporter `from the office of the “Banner of the People.”`Should these two instances also get `<i epub:type="se:name.publication.newspaper">...</i>`? If so, I expect the latter would be [Editorial], as it requires also the removal of the quotation marks. In the former, the "dateline" was already set in italics in the page scans, and I assume no [Editorial] intervention would be required at that point.But I would appreciate confirmation or correction on this. Thanks!David / Fife, UK
