"Attempt to decode"

[edit]

I know exactly what that fragment of "coded" letters means. Not the individual letters, of course not. But at a higher level. And yes, fully aware that that makes me sound like any number of whack jobs. To whom should I pass on my "theory"? This place right here on Wikipedia doesnt seem like the right one. 2001:8003:E40F:9601:58A5:75DA:4526:F50E (talk) 02:48, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We are not interested in what you claim to believe. We want your sources. If they are independent secondary sources, we may consider using them, so please provide them right here. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 02:55, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You could contact the Australian police who might be interested. Also, there are some cryptography websites out there like [1]https://ciphermysteries.com/ or [2]https://scienceblogs.de/klausis-krypto-kolumne/ whose authors could listen to you, or if you think a scientific article is warranted, Cryptologia magazine might be your best bet.

DOB in Infobox?

[edit]

The Infobox now gives an exact DOB of 16-Nov-1905, which is apparently Carl Webb's birthday. Is it really appropriate to give this date if it's "unconfirmed" that Carl Webb is the Somerton Man? Muzilon (talk) 22:49, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. That's just a little too presumptuous. It should be removed. HiLo48 (talk) 22:59, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
