Line 870: I've started work on the old EB article on the Mandaens, starting at [[wikisource:Page:EB1911 - Volume 17.djvu/571]] and following pages. Unfortunately, it uses a lot of Greek and Hebrew characters, and I don't know either really well, and the resolution on the side-by-side display isn't enough for me to be able to really be sure of getting the right ones. If you have any interest in maybe checking on them, it would be greatly appreciated. [[User:John Carter\|John Carter]] ([[User talk:John Carter\|talk]]) 19:24, 27 October 2013 (UTC) :Cripes, if it doesn't give even a hint of the original script, that is going to be a huge amount of work, John. It means for every term, one will have to do research. Of course I'm interested, the problem is time, which unfortunately (I have several manuscripts to translate and edit, apart from my own work, hence my low profile recently) I don't have much of. Surely there must be some technical solution here, software or whatever, that would at least provide people with an image or something like that? Have you checked around in nooks where the digital genii hang out?

Thank you for the great contributions! <span style="color:#a0a2a5">(courtesy of the [[WP:WER\|<span style="color:#80c0ff">Wikipedia Editor Retention Project</span>]])</span> \|} [[User:John Carter]] submitted the following nomination for [[WP:Editor of the Week\|Editor of the Week]]: :Some might consider {{noping\|Nishidani}} to be one of the less likely candidates for this, but I would disagree. He has been, probably less than fairly, subject to a ban from a topic in which he tended to support one side over another, but, unfortunately, that topic is one which attracts a lot of POV pushers, and, perhaps less fortunately, the POV pushers on the ''other'' side tend to outnumber by big numbers those comparatively fewer individuals on the not-favoring-Israel side. He is however one of the few editors I know of who has had, apparently, a reasonable classical education, unlike say me, and has regularly displayed in my own eyes both an amazing talent at both acquiring and reviewing sources regarding sometimes difficult content, and also the kind of depth of knowledge of a lot of things and overall neutrality regarding most issues which we very seriously need around here. And, yeah, he has indicated his retirement on his talk page; I and I think a lot of other people would be very, very disheartened if one of our more capable and experienced editors were to permanently leave the project. I think a review of his user page shows some of the other reasons why I believe his presence here is really irreplacable.
