Hi Eric, Thanx for taking time for reviewing my Article: Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Shamin Mannan. As per your suggestions I have updated it by adding mutiple notable references. So please re-review it and tell me whether my article can now be accepted. Thanx. Waiting for your reply- --Ashishrajsoni (talk) 14:06, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi Eric, just a note to say thank you for the review, your suggestions for improvement, and the promotion. The time and thought you put into it is much appreciated. Best, SlimVirgin (talk) 21:09, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
Andrew Samberg himself has said that his name is NOT David. I suppose when someone tells you that their name isn't something, that means you start insisting it is? How much more of a reliable source do you need than someone saying what their name isn't? Please correct your mistakes by undoing your undo's and stop insisting you know his name better than he does.

You may want to reconsider Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Steve Cyr. I have deleted the main space article because it was substantially identical to Steven Cyr which was deleted under WP:CSD#G11 (unambiguous promotion) and WP:CSD#G12 (copyvio). The version at AFC isn't quite the same. ~Amatulić (talk) 02:54, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
I notice that there's another AFC submission open now, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Steve Mark Cyr. It was initially declined, but the decline was reverted; there were concerns about the speed and integrity of that reviewer's work. To avoid further confusing the situation, I think it is best to leave the previous submission as is and to let the current one play out. Thanks for getting back to me.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Lauren Simonetti is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lauren Simonetti until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Ducknish (talk) 21:18, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

On 28 March 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Luther Christman, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that in 1975, an award named in honor of nurse and professor Luther Christman was created by the American Assembly for Men in Nursing? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Luther Christman. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Eric, thanks for signing up to help. Tomorrow is the kickoff day, the first day for improvement. We are going to try to wrap up the article improvement phase by June 15, complete the review period by July 15, and hand out awards by July 20. Please sign up for some articles that you would like to help improve, and get started! Thanks for your participation! Go Phightins! 19:21, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
You mentioned the link in the rejection notice, pointing out what reliable sources are. However, that doesnt explain why imdb and metacritic are reliable sources... particularly since they are used as references on accepted pages elsewhere! For example, the older "Camp(film)" page, itself, includes metacritic in its references section. (and imdb, for that matter). So if it's unreliable as a reference, why isnt it deleted from there? For that matter, I dont understand what is being viewed as unreliable in principle. Is there doubt that the movie exists? If so, what are "approved" references for films existing? I have attempted to copy other, approved, existing pages' references, yet you tell me they are no good. What am I supposed to use as an appropriate reference then? Given the inconsistency of standards being applied, it's starting to seem like there is some kind of bias against giving this file a wikipedia entry.

Me again. I recently undid a version of the article by another user. The user was requesting citations for the lead and questioned the article, stating that the information was repeated. You can read the full reasons of his request and my reasons to undo them in the talk page. I just wanted to ask you If you could post your opinion about it, since a mediator is always necessary in this matters and the article went through a review.--Rod840 (talk) 20:44, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
Vafra is a (cloned from Crafty by me) chess engine which can be used with (widely accepted and very popular) ChessBase's Microsoft Windows Fritz chess interface (via Wb2Uci adaptor written by Odd Gunnar Malin) as an UCI chess engine to assist in chess analysis. As (currently) I am (Robert Jurjevic is) the only author (and maintainer) of the cloned version (vafra is Latin for crafty) of the chess engine, Vafra chess engine link is the only direct reference to Vafra on the Internet (there are indirect links such as links to Crafty chess engine and Crafty's original author Professor Robert Hyatt). Wikipedia mentions some top (according to assessed playing strength) chess engines (such as Rybka, Houdini, Stockfish, etc.), but also some other chess engines (such as Crafty, etc.). Chess players (including the top grandmasters such as Magnus Carlsen, Levon Aronian, Vladimir Kramnik, etc.) may benefit (in chess analysis) even from chess engines like Vafra (particularly as Vafra chess engine chess playing style can be tailored by customizing all of its chess position evaluation and chess graph search parameters stored in Vafra chess engine personality files which is all configurable within ChessBase's Microsoft Windows Fritz chess interface. Vafra chess engine may be mentioned in Crafty Wikipedia article (as Vafra is a Crafty clone). Robert Jurjevic (the author of the cloned version of the chess engine) holds a master's degree in fluid mechanics (his master thesis was published in "International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids", Volume 31, Issue 3, pages 601-626, 15 October 1999) and a postgraduate certificate in astronomy and astrophysics. Robert has also been mentioned in "Who's Who in Science and Engineering" (6th to 10th, etc. Editions). Robert holds a bachelor's degree in naval architecture and works as a software engineer (with more than 30 years of computer programming experience). Robert Jurjevic is also an amateur chess player. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RJurjevic (talk • contribs) 11:16, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi, EricEnfermero,
I do not want to add the material from my articles into the existing 'Economy of ______' because those articles are bloated with information and I believe that the material from my project would be best presented as it's own article. The simple standard format is necessary for my articles and that makes it incompatible with the existing articles. The information on my article condenses alot of economic information into one small space.
I tried to set up this Wiki project proposal to have my articles create a new Wikimedia project here but I was told to add my articles to normal Wikipedia instead: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_Economic_Map
I want my format of article to be seen by the public so it can inspire other people to create the same style of article. That's all I want.
What is your advice? Mcnabber091 (talk) 15:21, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
Hey EricEnfermero,
I submitted the article 'Damn Kids' for review yesterday. It was declined by you because the sources weren't valid. Can you help me understand exactly what type of source you want? I would like this to get article published.
I'm confused since I've looked at your criteria for sources, and I believe BBC Radio 1 Xtra is a reliable source. Would you need another page? Did you want me to take some other sources out?
Is there anything else wrong with the article?
Let me know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thisisprovoke (talk • contribs) 17:58, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
I'm confused,
I received an email that you have responded to me, but I see no messages from you anywhere?
Can you respond within here, I would like to see what you are saying if you are communicating with me.
Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thisisprovoke (talk • contribs) 18:08, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
Hey EricEnfermero,
ok I understand now about the communication issue I was having.
I'm still not sure of what is wrong with those links. The second link, although not immediately noticeable, if you scroll down on the page you can see 'Damn Kids' on the list of artists who had their tracks played by B.Triats on that particular episode. That to me clears Wikipedia's rules of a valid source.
Let me know what I can do to make this article published.
Thanks.174.116.236.245 (talk) 20:46, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
Hey EricEnfermero,
I have resubmitted the article for Damn Kids. I have not changed anything in the actual article, but instead have added two sources to his references. The two sources are interviews with him, and should be from reliable sources. From the BBC sources, you can see his track was featured on the B.Traits show on BBC Radio 1 Xtra. The bio on BBC is a catch 22 since I need the Wikipedia page in order to get that up. I hope this covers the reliability of him as an established artist. Let me know if there is anything else I should include.Thisisprovoke (talk) 17:48, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi there EricEnfermero! I've noticed you have yourself listed as a member of the Food and Drink Wikiproject. Unfortunately it looks like the project has been slowly sliding into inactivity except for a couple of people. That makes me a sad potato, and nobody likes a sad potato amirite?
If you'd like to turn my frown upside down, can you do two small things?
First off, go here and add ((Tick)) ( ) next to your name if you're still part of the project.
Second, go to the project talkpage and participate in a discussion about how to make the project more active, and how to go about making articles in our area of interest a lot better.
You don't want to make me cry, do you? Potatoes have a lot of eyes you know. So come on, join in! :)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hey there. Just wanted to drop a comment. The Board editors have some wording we use to designate certain Causes of Deaths. If a person dies immediately from whatever, in this case a Stroke, then the listing is given as Stroke. However, if a person survives for a day, week, month, years, but later succumbs to the event, it is listed as Complications from Stroke. That is why you will see Traffic Collisions and Complications from Traffic Collisions, etc. It is one way you can tell that there was a struggle involved during the process or an immediate death. Feel free to get back to me if you have any further questions.Sunnydoo (talk) 02:06, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

For your work protecting Bob Davidson in the last few hours. Though he completely botched the call (I am a Phillies Phan, so my opinion is a tad biased ), he certainly does not deserve the vulgar criticism that ensued at the game, nor does he deserve crap on his Wikipedia page. Thanks for protecting him, and in turn protecting all living people. Go Phightins! 02:13, 6 June 2013 (UTC) |
Dear EricEnfermero, I notice that you declined the article on the academic Katharine Worth. I have added two citations. What will be required to enable this to be accepted as a Wikipedia article? Are references to books acceptable, or does Wikipedia only accept online citations? There are many books, particularly those which she wrote, which indicate her post at the time of publication, for example. Any information would be useful. Thank you, 31.51.1.125 (talk) 20:03, 6 June 2013 (UTC)V. Jones.
Hi EricEnfermero!
Just saw that you undid my edits. The reason I deleted those was because they are actually not verdicts but court rulings. For the Kananian section, the firm was actually never removed from the case. The attorney, Chris, actually lost his pro hace status instead. Also, the Butler section, is missing some information. There is no verdict for that one because the case is still going on and Brayton Purcell refiled the case.
Let me know how to approach this.
Thanks! Ellgee24 (talk) 20:56, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

You are really wasting my time! If there was published information I wouldn't have bothered to create the page. I work for the Belize Government and the information is based on a physical visit. This is certainly a major disincentive to contribute to Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rogerblench (talk • contribs) 14:14, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
There appears to be a misunderstanding about the copyright nature of the content I used on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Michael_Aram and it's similarities to an article armeniapedia. I was asked by Aram's publicist to write articles on both sites. I put up this article as a talk page, then used this article as a basis/template for the Armeniapedia article.
I explained in my authors notes for the Armeniapedia article that I would be using the wikipedia mateirial as a source, assuming that the wikipedia article would go live first as it had been submitted first.
Unfortunately with the article backlog on wikipedia it ended up being the other way around. Is there anyway I can put the material back up or should I just start from scratch?
Thanks for your time, I'm still pretty new to wikipedia so I don't yet have all the technical rules down, but this is my first real article and I'd like to someday see it posted.

Hi, the reference is about an article for Youi Insurance. It was declined on the following basis: Comment: Article relies mostly on sources that are connected to the subject. EricEnfermero Howdy! 07:45, 20 June 2013 (UTC). I researched other articles for other insurance companies who had used similar sources (i.e. news reports, company websites and linked in profiles) so why would this submission be declined? As an example see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budget_Direct whose citations are very similar.
What other sources and citatiosn are acceptable for verification?

Recently you rejected my request to have the German article "Walter Veith" translated into English. I followed the wikipedia guidelines to request a translation: "If the English article does not yet exist: you can: create the article on English Wikipedia as a stub article, explaining or defining the subject of the article in a sentence or two; then immediately tag your stub article with a translation template, as above."
Please explain why you decided to reject this request. Thank you.Earlysda (talk) 02:31, 23 June 2013 (UTC)earlysda
