Hey EricEnfermero. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.
We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.
Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) 21:37, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Tris Speaker you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of TonyTheTiger -- TonyTheTiger (talk) 01:11, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
Thank you. That was nominated at DYK and has passed. Tito☸Dutta 04:22, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
The article Tris Speaker you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Tris Speaker for things which need to be addressed.

Hi Eric,
I noticed that Major League Baseball, one of WikiProject Baseball's core articles was delisted years ago and was hoping that you could help, since it appears you have helped several baseball articles to GA and FA status. Go Phightins! has also volunteered to help out. Go to WT:BASEBALL to see what the goals are before its reviewed and give your own input about it. Thanks.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Roger Connor, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Jim O'Rourke and Joe Connor (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

It might be polite to explain why you reverted my edits on George Dawson Flinter. They seem constructive to me. I corrected errors, made important relevant links. What's the deal? WQUlrich (talk) 20:24, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
I am so sorry. It was indeed an accidental rollback from a mobile device (while the device was apparently in my pants pocket). I have a mobile account without rollback to avoid this scenario. Earlier today I logged in on the device using my standard account (which I generally avoid) to check something on my watchlist and I must have forgotten to log out of it. Not sure how my pants leg opens my browser and finds random pages though. I definitely wasn't editing (or intending to edit, anyway) at the time in question. Undoing my revert was definitely the right approach here. Flinter sounds like an intriguing figure. I'd love to lend a hand with copyediting or sourcing the entry if needed.

On 19 November 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Danny Shay, which you created or substantially expanded.

Eric, I would have appreciated that if you believed this article is promotion, that you could share it with me rather than eliminating more than 1,500 characters of text and four references. Please maintain the article as it is written, and I will go back and clean it up. Do not just go in and eliminate the time and effort that I have invested in this. I am not a relative and am not affiliated with any of the Greiner family. Do not assume and do not judge. It would have been more professional of you to share your concerns with me rather than edit out much of my work. Give me some time to make the article more neutral. Patience is appreciated, Daniellagreen (talk) 01:43, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
I appreciate that you are moving past this. I would have liked to hear more specifics on your perspective, particularly on when to edit versus when to discuss and how to make that practical, but I respect the decision that you have made. I'm disappointed by your comments on the role of gender and how you perceive that they affected our interactions; most people who know me say that I'm a pretty gender-atypical person in most respects. Again though, my personal feelings won't affect our ability to work together going forward. If I can help you in any way, just ask. I'm not going to edit anything that I know you have created, just so that we can let this all blow over. EricEnfermero HOWDY! 23:30, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
