- Sorry to be a meanie about images, and thank for understanding. By the way, thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! We have plenty of enthusiastic nonspecialists here, but it's always great to have true scholars willing to help out. You're fluent in A Marginal Jew, and it's fascinating, but certainly I would get more out of it if I knew Koine (or Aramaic, or both). Your contribution list looks to focus on other areas, however. In less scholarly matters, I appreciate the article on Brian Kilcommons; his "Good Owners, Great Dogs" was very instrumental in helping my relationship with my Chow-mix, although I found his "Good Owners, Great Cats" to be a bit less useful. (Cats are much less burdened with the instinctual desire to please that characterizes dogs.) All the best, – Quadell (talk) (random) 18:40, 15 December 2007 (UTC)]
- Hi Quadell. First let me thank you for your very kind comments. Coming from a fellow academic, it is a great honour indeed. I have seen your work from time to time and I consider you to be very fair, articulate and dilligent. As far as meanie, not by a long shot. There used to be a time when I got somehow excited about picture deletion but when I realised the ritual aspect of it I just don't get nearly as excited now, especially if they are fair and originating from competent admins such as yourself. However the rest of your comments present a very difficult problem for me. The reason for this difficulty is that I don't know where to start my reply from. So I'll start it from my most favourite part. That of the Brian Kilcommons article. Even then it is difficult to reply since there are so many levels to it. It just shows how rewarding and unexpected writing in Wikipedia can be, not to mention fun on many different levels. So to make a long story short I would never have dreamt of writing about Brian Kilcommons had I not been involved in trying to rescue the Bassetdor article, an article so improbable as its subject matter and one that I just happened upon by chance. Brian Kilcommons was the only reliable source for the article. I then found out that Brian Kilcommons was helped by his pet Irish mutt and I was inspired to write the article. To have a fellow Wikipedian give me such great feedback about its usefulness on pet upbringing is simply as close as you get to being paid in real money for your work here. The additional comments about cats are priceless. Thank you for that. As far as Biblical criticism, as you very aptly put it, is not a cup of my favourite beverage (tea). But my knowledge of Koine is based on an interpolation between Ancient and Modern Greek, since I never formally studied it. If I can be of any help I'll try my best. Anyway if I made this reply any longer it would unnecessarily keep you from your considerable duties here, so I will close by thanking you once more for your great (and enjoyable) feedback. Take care. Dr.K. (talk) 20:03, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Feedback needed on using special characters
Hello. Thank you so much for using VisualEditor. Having editors use it is the best way for the Wikimedia Foundation to develop it into the best tool it can be.
While we always welcome general feedback (please
The current version of the special characters tool in VisualEditor is very simple and very basic. It will be getting a lot of work in the coming weeks and months. It does not contain very many character sets at this time. (The specific character sets can be customized at each Wikipedia, so that each project could have a local version with the characters it wants.) But the developers want your ideas at this early stage about ways that the overall concept could be improved. I would appreciate your input on this question, so please try out the character inserter and tell me what changes to the design would (or would not!) best work for you.
Issues you might consider:
- Do you normally use a character inserter? Which character sets are useful to you? Should it include all 18 of the character sets provided in the wikitext editor's newer toolbar at the English Wikipedia, the 10 present in the older editor toolbar, or some other combination of character sets?
- How many special characters would you like to see at one time?
- Should there be a "priority" or "favorites" section for the 10 or 12 characters that most editors need most often? Is it okay if you need an extra click to go beyond the limited priority set?
- How should the sections be split up? Should they be nested? Ordered?
- How should the sections be navigated? Should there be a drop-down? A nested menu?
- The wikitext editor has never included many symbols and characters, like ♀. Do you find that you need these missing characters? If the character inserter in VisualEditor includes hundreds or thousands of special characters, will it be overwhelming? How will you find the character you want? What should be done for users without enough space to display more than a few dozen characters?
- Should the character inserter be statically available until dismissed? Should it hover near the mouse? Should it go away on every selection or 10 seconds after a selection with no subsequent ones?
- Some people believe that the toolbar already has too many options—how would you simplify it?
The developers are open to any thoughts on how the special character inserter can best be developed, even if this requires significant changes.
Please leave your views on the MediaWiki feedback page (your regular username/password works there), or, if you'd prefer, you can contact me directly on my talk page. It would be really helpful if you can tell me how frequently you need to use special characters in your typical editing and what languages are important to you.
Thank you again for your work with VisualEditor and for any feedback you can provide. I really do appreciate it. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 23:43, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
