I'm not going to answer your question at the Teahouse directly, as we don't want to encourage new editors thinking they can come and ask non-Wikipedia related questions there. However, whenever I'm trying to find out about a disuse website, I pop the url into https://archive.org/web/ and search for old archived versions of that site for contacts or other clues. Maybe you might try that? If you have a real name, you could always try https://www.thephonebook.bt.com/person/ - though since the advent of mobile phones, fewer and fewer people list their details there. If the site relates to some specialist activity, I look for clubs and organisations in their home area, then search online member lists and so on. Thinking laterally is the clue to finding someone. If you have a real name you could try modern social media platforms and check all the profiles for a match to the home town. Out of interest, why do you need to contact that person?

@Nick Moyes: Here is what I have tried to date: 1) exhaustive google searching, and my google-fu is quite good, 2) looking through several categories looking for anything Lancashire-related where general discussions take place that might be cogent, 3) several attempts to abuse the GeoCities URL format to attempt to trick out additional information, 4) using various "find this person" engines, including Facebook and Twitter. To answer your last question, the person in question wrote a web page where they ran the Rugg/Feldman benchmarks on a variety of machines, and I would like to know if they have any original copy of PCW that contains the original source listings. I guess I could have added that to the Teahouse post, but that did seem OT in that it doesn't actually clarify the request. Maury Markowitz (talk) 11:49, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks. I very much doubt I can do any better from over this side of the Pond, but if you wanted to email me the details I can try and have a look for you, seeing that it relates to the article you're working on. Regards, Nick Moyes (talk) 13:56, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Maury Markowitz! You created a thread called Where do I contact people who live in Lancashire? at Wikipedia:Teahouse, but it has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days. You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please create a new thread.
