From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


My name's Ben

As a Wikipedian, I'm really nothing special. All I do is fix typos, edit pages on useless pop culture topics and other wastes of time. I'm lazy, so I don't do anything useful. I have no featured articles and never will.
I'm named after this fictional character.


About my old sig

Q: What are those ugly characters in your sig? Why can't my browser display them properly?
A: My former sig is an International Phonetic Alphabet transcription of my user name, with links to my talk and contribution pages written in "phonological feature notation":

Before November 9, 2005, I used the IPA template to generate the IPA characters while avoiding the Unicode display problems in Internet Exploder 6 for Windows and older browsers. I switched to an image because, at the time, I thought an image would be less of a drain on the servers than a template-generated signature. Talk page comments made before I changed to an image may not display properly in some older browsers and operating systems.
The special characters represent the following sounds:
  • ɪ: this small capital "I" represents the English "short I" sound, as in "bin."
  • æ: this symbol, the a-e ligature or "ash," stands for the English "short A," as in "hat."
