- 1995 January 16, Edmund Grimley-Evans, “re:Versa Stello”, in alt.uu.lang.esperanto.misc (Usenet):
- Por niaj rilatoj al eksteruloj ver^sajne la jubilea simbolo (a^u "melono" a^u "rugbea pilko") pli ta^ugas ol stelo, kvankam mi konsilas inkluzivi etan stelon en la jubilea simbolo, sed por esperantistoj la simbolo de Esperanto ver^sajne restos verda stelo kvaza^u eterne.
- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
- The jubilee symbol (or "melon" or "rugby ball") is seemingly better suited for our contact with outsiders than a star, although I advise including a tiny star in the jubilee symbol, but, for its speakers, the symbol of Esperanto will seemingly always remain a green star.
- 1999 March, Jorge Camacho, La Liturgio de l’ Foiro:
- Kontraste kun UEA, uzanta la melonon (la jubilean simbolon), LF-koop ne evitas la verdan stelon nek, almenaŭ provizore, la dikliteran frontispicon de Heroldo.
- In contrast to UEA, which uses the "melon" (the jubilee symbol), LF-koop doesn't avoid the green star nor, at least temporarily, the bold-lettered frontispiece to Heroldo.
- 2008 August 27, Jens S. Larsen, “re: Citizendium kontrau Vikipedio”, in soc.culture.esperanto (Usenet):
- Ekzemple gxi donas la impreson ke oni komencis inventi simbolojn (la stelon, la melonon) nur en 1983 -- en la fonto (retpagxo kien kondukas ligilo) la jaro estas gxuste indikita kiel 1893!
- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
- For example, it gives the impression that we only started inventing symbols (the star, the melon) in 1983 -- in the source (the webpage the link leads to) the year is rightly given as 1893!
