thread_title:  Circled infinity symbol 

message: This article argues that acid-free paper does not necessarily satsify all the requirements of ISO 9706.  Does that mean that such "acid-free but non-ISO 9706-compliant paper" would or would not be entitled to use the 'circled infinity' symbol?  The article seems to suggest that it would not

thread_title: Longevity of paper

message: As of this writing, the acid-free symbol in the article appears to be a circled "8" rotated a quarter-turn counter-clockwise.  The two loops of the "8" are not equal-sized, as they would be in a true "infinity" symbol.  Can somebody find the correct graphics for this symbol?  --Reify-tech (talk) 04:45, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Wrong glyph

message: The article fails to convey the importance of acid-free paper, and sounds like an obscure technical discussion with little real relevance to book lovers. One or two photos of the actual damage to old books caused by acid pulp would do much to convincingly illustrate the consequences of this problem.  --Reify-tech (talk) 04:45, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I searched Wikimedia Commons again, and found hundreds of pictures of pulp and paper mills, but none of their deteriorated past production. We still need pictures of some crumbling old "pulp paperbacks" or magazines.  Reify-tech (talk) 14:33, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: If what you say is true, thanks for finding this. It sounds like the original paper can be copied legally, but using it without attribution is against Wikipedia policy. There is some kind of Wikipedia template notice that tells the reader that significant portions of the article have been copied legally, which should be added to the article.  Still better would be a complete rewrite, but I don't currently feel qualified to do this, and would defer to somebody with more expertise on the subject.  Reify-tech (talk) 21:48, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
