Hello again. Do you, by chance, know an editor who enjoys reviewing for GA? I'm asking because Leon Day is still waiting for a helping hand. All the while, I also expanded another article (music-related) for GA and I want to be able to focus entirely on one review at a time if possible. I realize there is a backlog at GA so if it is just a matter of being patient I can do that as well. Thanks for any help you can give. TheGracefulSlick ( talk) 01:29, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Eric, So great to have other nurses in Wikipedia! It's a bit overwhelming for busy nurses to figure out Wikipedia, but they are making some great additions. Any recommendations for new editors, e.g. resources other than the standard Wiki documents or things you wish you had known when you started! Any advice would be appreciated!

Why do you keep reverting the information about Joe Mande? It is not an opinion. It is cited by news sources. Some of the sources are interviews from Joe Mande himself. Mande is a self-described Internet troll. Wikipedia shouldn't let anyone hide behind Internet trolling simply because they have a following as a comedian. That's an occupational bias. It is important information to identify trolling in this new age of the Internet.
EricEnfermero, if you say Wikipedia doesn't label people things like "Internet troll" even though in this case Mande has previously identified himself as an Internet troll countless times then why do people like Kenneth McCarthy a.k.a Ken M, who also have gained a following through the Internet using comedy like Mande, have the title of "Internet troll" on their Wikipedia page? It sounds to me that you are not properly upholding Wikipedia objective standards, but are rather picking and choosing based on your personal bias. If you disagree, please explain? Otherwise, allow the change in simply giving Mande the title of Internet troll in addition to the other titles he claims. The Internet is not meant to be some of alternative comedy club stage because anybody can use the Internet.
Hi EricEnfermero, I'm curious to know what part of the last message directed at you did you find the need to doubt the person's intelligence? Can you specifically quote the part that you found unintelligent? I understand Wikipedia's "neutral wording" policy and the fact that you can't monitor every single Wikipedia page but the previous comment was asking if a subject like "Ken M" can be titled an Internet troll on Wikipedia why can't "Joe Mande" who has admitted to being those words? Also, it's strange that in the same comment in which you mention professionalism, you open with this line "I am going on good faith that you're a pretty intelligent person, and if you're as smart as I think you are, you'll be able to reread your last message above and see how silly it looks." which could have been omitted entirely. Nonetheless, I think we can both agree that the subject being discussed is about as smart as the current U.S. President he makes fun of, using vulgarity much like his reality-show star President has done in the past. Although, I don't think the previous comments were about making Mande an example, but rather about being equal with everybody. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.217.15.160 ( talk) 22:11, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
All of you are giving this guy Joe Mande way too much attention than he deserves. He hasn't become moderately-known for his comedy but rather for mentioning the names of people who are actually famous on Twitter and/or in his stand-up, even recruiting ignorant athletes like Blake Griffin to be part of his gimmick. Mande is as successful as a comedian as Trump is as a politician. They both have the position they desired but got the position through gimmicks rather through any kind of skills. Mande is every definition of the words "Internet troll" and based on the cited sources has consistently been for years, no matter how much Wikipedia moderators want to make him appear to be just an innocuous comedian. Anyway, how about we stop giving Mande even more Internet attention that he seeks. What is written on his Wikipedia page is true and has been modified and verified by Wikipedia moderator, EricEnfermero. So, how about Wikipedia moderators work both ways and prevent any subjective info on the subject's page to make him look worse while also undoing any blanking of objectively written and cited info to make him look better. Also, if you're going to quote him in saying "I don’t wake up in the morning and rub my hands together thinking about who I’m going to mess with today." be fair and use the entire quote: "I love the fact that these retarded celebrities share their thoughts. That’s my favorite thing. It’s so much fun to do, but I don’t wake up in the morning and rub my hands together thinking about who I’m going to mess with today." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.137.121.67 ( talk) 15:00, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Regarding this revert: it's safe to always assume anything added by IPs or new editors related to Pardon My Take (and possibly Barstool Sports by extension) to be vandalism. I've never listened to the podcast but they apparently must frequently encourage vandalizing Wikipedia articles, because I can't tell you how many times I've reverted stuff that I later found out was due to something that was said on it. Check out the page history for Jay Glazer on October 10, 2016. Certainly their listeners must view them as comedic geniuses. Lizard ( talk) 19:36, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

On 15 August 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Helen Quach, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in 1977, symphony conductor Helen Quach was one of two women who led major orchestras anywhere in the world? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Helen Quach. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Helen Quach), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

NURSING - (Do I leave message here, idk) Anyway, so basically what I did was I read on another website about nursing, and later came to the wiki site, however, I noticed some lines were exactly the same. I found the information came from a website and so I simply cited the source of the line that came from the website. I'm sure there was more plagerism, but that was enough to sell me on it. I hope I'm leaving this in the right place. Anyways thanks for your input.

Hello. Yesterday I made additions to the article which you cleaned up. However, when I access that Wikipedia article the old article before yesterday pops up and not the new article.The only way I get to the new article is through the View history section. I am sure it is an easy fix. Also ,in first paragraph where it says got 3 consecutive hits and stole a base should be changed or modified. It seems too vague and mundane and presents nothing significant. For 7 years I have been making subtle changes or additions but I don't like deleting someone's original entry .Maybe you can come up with something a little better to improve the content. Also nothing on the Tris Speaker issue yet. Wanted to let you know about the issues.

I notice that the page you sent me -- http://retrosheet.org/umpgmchg.htm -- does not mention John McSherry's death during the Reds game on opening day of 1996. I suppose technically it's not an injury if you suffer a fatal heart attack (and since it caused the postponement of the game, I guess technically it wasn't during a game after all), but you'd think retrosheet would have found a place for such an event in their list, huh?
Anyway, I used that excellent resource to re-update the Brick Owens page on Wikipedia, pointing out that it seems that the 8/20/1912 game is the one and only one in which more than one umpire was forced to leave the same game due to injury. Thanks again!

Hi EricEnfermero,
You recently reverted an edit that was made to Robert Kraft's Wikipedia page. Specifically, this edit was made to add a "Celebrity Circles" section to his page, which provided information about the various activities that he has participated in with a number of celebrities. You stated that that section had a "less than neutral" point of view, so I wanted to check in and see what can be done to ensure it has a more neutral point of view.
Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.116.123.66 ( talk) 16:22, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
Good morning. Yes, you were absolutely right about last night's revert. Retrosheet was not wrong, I just went to the specified start of his slump at the end of the first date specified,using a part of a game, so I was incorrect about that. However, from August 21-28, 1966, he had only 3 hits in 29 at-bats, his batting average dropped 12 points in a week.(retrosheet daily log for Oliva). Could that be added too? If so, please add this. He was a great hitter, and if not been beset by so many injuries, would have won a couple of more batting titles and made the Hall of Fame. He played from 1964-1976, a pitchers dominated era. I'm 61, remember him well. Thank you and have a good weekend. 2601:581:8500:949C:304C:CD3D:3958:6A95 ( talk) 15:01, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

I am the subject of biographical information. Did you look at my talk page? I had links to an addition about lecturing in South Africa that I want included. Plus there is a citation flag concerning my Bachelors degree and my employment at the Institute of Audio Research. My intent is to make sure my page is accurate not to use it in some manner that violates Wikipedia rules. (unsigned - User:Princhalex)
I am not sure if this is getting to you because even though you know your way around wikipedia, it looks like a maze to me. There is a newspaper article already on my wiki page stating that I am a graduate of Brandeis University. It is the one about the Record Producer giving back to his alma mater. It is from the Boston Globe and states that I am a graduate of Brandeis University.

To answer your question from Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Aggiefan47, you have a few different options. If you're adding new IP's or accounts to an existing report, then yes you should be adding them manually. If you're reporting many at once, you can use the sockpuppeteer option in twinkle's ARV menu. Broadly speaking there are three main reasons for keeping reports separate: the existing report is already closed, but not archived, if the evidence in the two reports is sufficiently different, so that investigating one is unlikely shed any light on the other, or for CU reasons when one report is only IP's and the other includes a CheckUser request. I hope that clears things up. Sir Sputnik ( talk) 23:22, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Hey, I noticed you marked yourself as a member of WikiProject Wikify and you are currently listed as active. I was wondering if you would be able to assist with our current backlog reduction plan. While traditional drives are more structured month-long sprints by WikiProject Wikify members, there is currently lacking activity within the project and in order to significantly reduce the incredible backlog, members are encouraged to review all articles marked with the Underlinked Template Message - {{ underlinked}} - a list of which can be found here - to analyze the worthiness of the template message on the given article. Articles that have nothing to link or are have had wikilinks sufficiently added should have the template removed to clear the backlog and make it easier for editors to find articles in genuine need of wikification. This can be done by any editor; however, all editors should consider joining if they haven't done so already. Thank you!

Hello, Larry Hockett. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for Alan Wiggins at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! – Corinne ( talk) 17:39, 12 January 2018 (UTC) |
Hello, EricEnfermero – You can see that I have completed the copy-edit you requested at
Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests. It was quite well written as it was, so I only made a few small edits. I wanted to mention a few things:
1) A comma after an initial prepositional phrases such as "In 1990" is optional, as long as it is consistent throughout the article. I prefer no comma there; I don't think it is necessary as a guide to pronunciation, and I think it reflects a more modern style. However, if you prefer the comma, let me know and I'd be glad to put the commas back in.
2) In the section Alan Wiggins#Later years, I moved a sentence (with the accompanying reference) from the third paragraph to the second paragraph. I thought that a sentence beginning "Wiggins stated that he had contracted the disease" did not belong after statements saying he had died. However, after saving my edits and looking at the second paragraph, I realized that there is a bit of a disconnect between that sentence and the sentence right before it. The sentence begins "Wiggins stated that he had contracted the disease", but the previous sentence mentions two diseases, pneumonia the tuberculosis, which, of course, are not the disease meant by "the disease". I thought the sentence might work if it is placed immediately after this sentence:
Another possibility is to put the sentence back where it was, in the third paragraph, but change "Wiggins stated" to "Wiggins had stated", which makes it clear that he stated it earlier, before he died.
You might give this some thought and decide the best place for that sentence.
3) In the last paragraph in the section Alan Wiggins#Early career, you have a sentence that ends:
I wonder if you could either link the term "unprotected" or briefly explain it. Those readers not familiar with baseball might not know what "unprotected" means.
Well that's all. – Corinne ( talk) 17:51, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello again. Do you, by chance, know an editor who enjoys reviewing for GA? I'm asking because Leon Day is still waiting for a helping hand. All the while, I also expanded another article (music-related) for GA and I want to be able to focus entirely on one review at a time if possible. I realize there is a backlog at GA so if it is just a matter of being patient I can do that as well. Thanks for any help you can give. TheGracefulSlick ( talk) 01:29, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Eric, So great to have other nurses in Wikipedia! It's a bit overwhelming for busy nurses to figure out Wikipedia, but they are making some great additions. Any recommendations for new editors, e.g. resources other than the standard Wiki documents or things you wish you had known when you started! Any advice would be appreciated!

Why do you keep reverting the information about Joe Mande? It is not an opinion. It is cited by news sources. Some of the sources are interviews from Joe Mande himself. Mande is a self-described Internet troll. Wikipedia shouldn't let anyone hide behind Internet trolling simply because they have a following as a comedian. That's an occupational bias. It is important information to identify trolling in this new age of the Internet.
EricEnfermero, if you say Wikipedia doesn't label people things like "Internet troll" even though in this case Mande has previously identified himself as an Internet troll countless times then why do people like Kenneth McCarthy a.k.a Ken M, who also have gained a following through the Internet using comedy like Mande, have the title of "Internet troll" on their Wikipedia page? It sounds to me that you are not properly upholding Wikipedia objective standards, but are rather picking and choosing based on your personal bias. If you disagree, please explain? Otherwise, allow the change in simply giving Mande the title of Internet troll in addition to the other titles he claims. The Internet is not meant to be some of alternative comedy club stage because anybody can use the Internet.
Hi EricEnfermero, I'm curious to know what part of the last message directed at you did you find the need to doubt the person's intelligence? Can you specifically quote the part that you found unintelligent? I understand Wikipedia's "neutral wording" policy and the fact that you can't monitor every single Wikipedia page but the previous comment was asking if a subject like "Ken M" can be titled an Internet troll on Wikipedia why can't "Joe Mande" who has admitted to being those words? Also, it's strange that in the same comment in which you mention professionalism, you open with this line "I am going on good faith that you're a pretty intelligent person, and if you're as smart as I think you are, you'll be able to reread your last message above and see how silly it looks." which could have been omitted entirely. Nonetheless, I think we can both agree that the subject being discussed is about as smart as the current U.S. President he makes fun of, using vulgarity much like his reality-show star President has done in the past. Although, I don't think the previous comments were about making Mande an example, but rather about being equal with everybody. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.217.15.160 ( talk) 22:11, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
All of you are giving this guy Joe Mande way too much attention than he deserves. He hasn't become moderately-known for his comedy but rather for mentioning the names of people who are actually famous on Twitter and/or in his stand-up, even recruiting ignorant athletes like Blake Griffin to be part of his gimmick. Mande is as successful as a comedian as Trump is as a politician. They both have the position they desired but got the position through gimmicks rather through any kind of skills. Mande is every definition of the words "Internet troll" and based on the cited sources has consistently been for years, no matter how much Wikipedia moderators want to make him appear to be just an innocuous comedian. Anyway, how about we stop giving Mande even more Internet attention that he seeks. What is written on his Wikipedia page is true and has been modified and verified by Wikipedia moderator, EricEnfermero. So, how about Wikipedia moderators work both ways and prevent any subjective info on the subject's page to make him look worse while also undoing any blanking of objectively written and cited info to make him look better. Also, if you're going to quote him in saying "I don’t wake up in the morning and rub my hands together thinking about who I’m going to mess with today." be fair and use the entire quote: "I love the fact that these retarded celebrities share their thoughts. That’s my favorite thing. It’s so much fun to do, but I don’t wake up in the morning and rub my hands together thinking about who I’m going to mess with today." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.137.121.67 ( talk) 15:00, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Regarding this revert: it's safe to always assume anything added by IPs or new editors related to Pardon My Take (and possibly Barstool Sports by extension) to be vandalism. I've never listened to the podcast but they apparently must frequently encourage vandalizing Wikipedia articles, because I can't tell you how many times I've reverted stuff that I later found out was due to something that was said on it. Check out the page history for Jay Glazer on October 10, 2016. Certainly their listeners must view them as comedic geniuses. Lizard ( talk) 19:36, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

NURSING - (Do I leave message here, idk) Anyway, so basically what I did was I read on another website about nursing, and later came to the wiki site, however, I noticed some lines were exactly the same. I found the information came from a website and so I simply cited the source of the line that came from the website. I'm sure there was more plagerism, but that was enough to sell me on it. I hope I'm leaving this in the right place. Anyways thanks for your input.

Hello. Yesterday I made additions to the article which you cleaned up. However, when I access that Wikipedia article the old article before yesterday pops up and not the new article.The only way I get to the new article is through the View history section. I am sure it is an easy fix. Also ,in first paragraph where it says got 3 consecutive hits and stole a base should be changed or modified. It seems too vague and mundane and presents nothing significant. For 7 years I have been making subtle changes or additions but I don't like deleting someone's original entry .Maybe you can come up with something a little better to improve the content. Also nothing on the Tris Speaker issue yet. Wanted to let you know about the issues.

I notice that the page you sent me -- http://retrosheet.org/umpgmchg.htm -- does not mention John McSherry's death during the Reds game on opening day of 1996. I suppose technically it's not an injury if you suffer a fatal heart attack (and since it caused the postponement of the game, I guess technically it wasn't during a game after all), but you'd think retrosheet would have found a place for such an event in their list, huh?
Anyway, I used that excellent resource to re-update the Brick Owens page on Wikipedia, pointing out that it seems that the 8/20/1912 game is the one and only one in which more than one umpire was forced to leave the same game due to injury. Thanks again!

Hi EricEnfermero,
You recently reverted an edit that was made to Robert Kraft's Wikipedia page. Specifically, this edit was made to add a "Celebrity Circles" section to his page, which provided information about the various activities that he has participated in with a number of celebrities. You stated that that section had a "less than neutral" point of view, so I wanted to check in and see what can be done to ensure it has a more neutral point of view.
Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.116.123.66 ( talk) 16:22, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
Good morning. Yes, you were absolutely right about last night's revert. Retrosheet was not wrong, I just went to the specified start of his slump at the end of the first date specified,using a part of a game, so I was incorrect about that. However, from August 21-28, 1966, he had only 3 hits in 29 at-bats, his batting average dropped 12 points in a week.(retrosheet daily log for Oliva). Could that be added too? If so, please add this. He was a great hitter, and if not been beset by so many injuries, would have won a couple of more batting titles and made the Hall of Fame. He played from 1964-1976, a pitchers dominated era. I'm 61, remember him well. Thank you and have a good weekend. 2601:581:8500:949C:304C:CD3D:3958:6A95 ( talk) 15:01, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

My intent is to make sure my page is accurate not to use it in some manner that violates Wikipedia rules. (unsigned - User:Princhalex)
I am not sure if this is getting to you because even though you know your way around wikipedia, it looks like a maze to me. There is a newspaper article already on my wiki page stating that I am a graduate of Brandeis University. It is the one about the Record Producer giving back to his alma mater.

To answer your question from Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Aggiefan47, you have a few different options. If you're adding new IP's or accounts to an existing report, then yes you should be adding them manually. If you're reporting many at once, you can use the sockpuppeteer option in twinkle's ARV menu. Broadly speaking there are three main reasons for keeping reports separate: the existing report is already closed, but not archived, if the evidence in the two reports is sufficiently different, so that investigating one is unlikely shed any light on the other, or for CU reasons when one report is only IP's and the other includes a CheckUser request. I hope that clears things up. Sir Sputnik ( talk) 23:22, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Hey, I noticed you marked yourself as a member of WikiProject Wikify and you are currently listed as active. I was wondering if you would be able to assist with our current backlog reduction plan. While traditional drives are more structured month-long sprints by WikiProject Wikify members, there is currently lacking activity within the project and in order to significantly reduce the incredible backlog, members are encouraged to review all articles marked with the Underlinked Template Message - {{ underlinked}} - a list of which can be found here - to analyze the worthiness of the template message on the given article. Articles that have nothing to link or are have had wikilinks sufficiently added should have the template removed to clear the backlog and make it easier for editors to find articles in genuine need of wikification. This can be done by any editor; however, all editors should consider joining if they haven't done so already. Thank you!

Hello, Larry Hockett. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for Alan Wiggins at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! – Corinne ( talk) 17:39, 12 January 2018 (UTC) |
Hello, EricEnfermero – You can see that I have completed the copy-edit you requested at
Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests. It was quite well written as it was, so I only made a few small edits. I wanted to mention a few things:
1) A comma after an initial prepositional phrases such as "In 1990" is optional, as long as it is consistent throughout the article. I prefer no comma there; I don't think it is necessary as a guide to pronunciation, and I think it reflects a more modern style. However, if you prefer the comma, let me know and I'd be glad to put the commas back in.
2) In the section Alan Wiggins#Later years, I moved a sentence (with the accompanying reference) from the third paragraph to the second paragraph. I thought that a sentence beginning "Wiggins stated that he had contracted the disease" did not belong after statements saying he had died. However, after saving my edits and looking at the second paragraph, I realized that there is a bit of a disconnect between that sentence and the sentence right before it. The sentence begins "Wiggins stated that he had contracted the disease", but the previous sentence mentions two diseases, pneumonia the tuberculosis, which, of course, are not the disease meant by "the disease". I thought the sentence might work if it is placed immediately after this sentence:
Another possibility is to put the sentence back where it was, in the third paragraph, but change "Wiggins stated" to "Wiggins had stated", which makes it clear that he stated it earlier, before he died.
You might give this some thought and decide the best place for that sentence.
3) In the last paragraph in the section Alan Wiggins#Early career, you have a sentence that ends:
I wonder if you could either link the term "unprotected" or briefly explain it. Those readers not familiar with baseball might not know what "unprotected" means.
Well that's all. – Corinne ( talk) 17:51, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
