Hi--I am writing a book and I would like to use a quote from one of the posts on your website and I was wondering if you could please let me know the name of the author if known and how I might contact him or her. The title of the post is, "Puns and Other Word Play." The URL is https://h2g2.com/edited_entry/A592643 . Thank you!

Hello Gary and thanks for your message.
You can contact the author of the Puns Entry by leaving Ender Wiggin a message on their personal space U103438 but they might not reply as they last posted on h2g2 in 2001.
However, you are welcome to quote up to 300 words from the Entry as 'fair use' and reference the webpage URL https://h2g2.com/edited_entry/A592643
I hope that helps, but do let me know if you have any other questions
