Notes from Others

Welcome to Wikipedia, old-timer!  :) It does seem as if more and more of the Usenet old guard are migrating here, and I'm glad to see some familiar names popping up. Here's hoping you stick around! --Modemac 20:59, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

WikiProject New York City

Hello, I've started WikiProject New York City, and from your edits it seems you might be interested. See its talk page for the beginning of a discussion on the standardization of neighborhood names, and bringing New York City up to featured status.--Pharos 13:22, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Stroke.

I'm your biggest fan.

Well, probably not. But back when you ran www.qz.to/erotica---which got moved to assm.asstr.org around 1999, and dear god does that mean I remember your name from before then? I must have been in high school---it was a tremendous resource, long before smutty livejournal communities and the like. I remember reading Nurse Jones's "The List" off of there, and immediately spreading it to everyone I knew. (With... mixed... reactions. I've since learned a measure of discretion.) It changed my life.

It's been a long time since then, but I always admired you for running that archive. When I saw that you had signed on to moderate net.sexuality on the Usenet II project, I remembered your name, and wondered what would come of it.

And now I see you here. Kinda like finding that Elf Sternberg got himself a livejournal, it's just plain odd. A modernization, perhaps, but one I never really saw coming.

I suppose having nothing to add but loony fanboyism has kept me from sending you actual mail over the years---I really don't have anything to say other than 'Thank you'. So, here it is.

Thank you. grendel|khan 06:39, 2005 Jan 4 (UTC)

Funny. One of the first things I did here was edit some corrections into the alt.sex.stories entry, which Modemac has been off and on editing. As you can see above, he remembered me and wrote, too. But while I am still the 'net.sex heirarchy czar' I've never checked to see it Usenet II gets a wikipedia entry.

The List is a pretty influential work it seems. Wonder if it merits an entry.

Anyway, I'm glad to have been a positive, if smutty, influence. Kinda makes me think I know how John Waters feels.

Modification of Coandă effect gif

Hi Benjamin! I modified your excellent animated gif in the Coandă effect article as shown here. I hope it's OK and that I haven't misunderstood. --Profero 02:21, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you.

For all that you've done for ASS and ASSM ever since '98. Project2501a 03:44, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I replied to your question

I replied to your question on Talk:High-visibility clothing#Color names. I mention it here just in case you haven't been watching that page every day for the past year. --Teratornis 19:23, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Talkback

Hey Eli, I'm wondering if you would consider sharing the table of unicode character mappings from the "Unicode Text Converter" on your website. Agvulpine (talk) 19:56, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

• Sorry, haven't logged in in a while. Many of the mappings there are based on grepping the UnicodeData.txt file from unicode.org. Is there a specific mapping you were interested in? For what use? --Elijah (talk) 20:43, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Further on the topic of your "Unicode Text Converter" (which is great, by the way!) I'd recommend using U+1D7D for a lowercase p with stroke instead of U+A751. The one I suggest has better browser support. Thanks for the tool! mcgees.org (talk) 11:56, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

• Okay, I swapped in LATIN SMALL LETTER P WITH STROKE for LATIN SMALL LETTER P WITH STROKE THROUGH DESCENDER. Thanks for the feedback. --Elijah (talk) 22:52, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

What does S stand for in slash and back slash (/s/)--K. S 09:56, 6 January 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kawsar Siddiqui (talk • contribs)

Unicode

Greetings Eli,
I came across your Unicode Toys page (http://www.panix.com/~eli/unicode/) and thought it was great.
I did notice some issues with the small caps though.

Letter	Toys	Suggest	Comment
F	ꜰ	ғ	broader support in default browsers
S	ꜱ	s	broader support in default browsers
Q	q	ǫ	fits in better with the real small caps
Y	y	ʏ	now works in all browsers I've tested

Regardless thank you for the page, especially the Math alphabets (script etc.) ―MJBurrage^(T•C) 19:35, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Alisdair Macdonald

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Alisdair Macdonald requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Gbawden (talk) 06:44, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

• I found a red link and was interested enough to find out about the guy and and write enough of a page that would satisfy my interest in him. I provided cites to two obituaries and one other reference. And I note that someone else promptly denied your request. I feel satisfied that my page is justified. I must say your reaction is not very welcoming. My account here is over a decade old, and my first page was created six years before your first edit. Incidents like this do not encourage me to be a more frequent contributor. Reuters had an obituary for the guy. That alone proves, to me, that he was noteworthy enough to warrant a paragraph in the repository of all human knowledge. --Elijah (talk) 04:37, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

assessments

Oh, I don't know how to do the assessments either. I just know that "unknown" means "not assessed by a human yet". DS (talk) 12:50, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
