Welcome[edit]Welcome! Hello, Ericl, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place Re: Vice Presidents Dawes, Coolidge and Humphrey[edit]Please read this policy regarding verifiability on Wikipedia. I'm going to quote the policy in a nutshell: "Information on Wikipedia must be reliable and verifiable. Facts, viewpoints, theories, and arguments may only be included in articles if they have already been published by reliable sources. Articles should cite these sources whenever possible. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed." I have underlined the last part since it is what pertains to this issue. Your research is not unappreciated, but it is simply your word and has no evidence to back it up. Please add citations per the page I linked to you (this guideline) and your additions are more than welcomed. Also, be sure they have an appropriate tone for an encyclopedia. I have used the following paragraph that you had added to Calvin Coolidge as an example:
The first sentence is a claim; there needs to be some sort of reference which says he was a favorite son. The second and third sentences, which describe "something strange" as happening, are not of an appropriate encyclopedic tone, which must remain neutral and even throughout the article. That is just one example. Please understand that citations are extremely important if Wikipedia is to be a verifiable source of information. As I said earlier, your contributions are welcome, but please realize that truth doesn't matter at Wikipedia; verifiability does. Thanks. --tomf688 (talk - email) 00:32, 15 October 2006 (UTC) Walter Scheel[edit]Please do not add false information to Wikipedia. Walter Scheel never was Chancellor of Germany, not even for a single day. He was Vice-Chancellor and as such Willy Brandt's deputy. Usually a Chancellor remains in office beyond his term until a new Chancellor is elected. Because of Brandt's condition Scheel, as VC, acted in his stead. But still he was not Chancellor. Another point: Helmut Schmidt never was leader of his party.

"Acting Vice President"[edit]Hi. I saw in a couple of your edits, you stated that a given person who was President pro tempore of the Senate at a time when the Vice Presidency was vacant (e.g., David Rice Atchison, Benjamin Wade) was serving as "Acting Vice President" and therefore was next in line to succeed to the Presidency. You are right that each of these people would have succeeded to the Presidency if something had happened to the President. You are also right that as President pro tempore, these people presided over meetings of the Senate, which would normally have been a Vice Presidential responsibility (in those days, unlike today, the Vice President actually did spend a fair amount of time showing up at the Senate and presiding). However, I wanted to mention that the term "Acting Vice President" is not one that was ever used. Moreover, it's not the fact that the President pro tempore was acting as Vice President that placed him next in line for the Presidency, it's the fact that under the law at that time, the President pro tempore, in that capacity, was next after the Vice President in the presidential line of succession. Under later statutes, when other officials (first the Secretary of State, then the Speaker of the House) were placed next in line after the Vice President, they would come before the President pro tempore even though the President pro tempore continued to perform certain duties that a Vice President would ordinarily perform. Since you're interested in this topic, you might want to take a look at United States presidential line of succession#History of succession law set by Congress and Presidential Succession Act if you haven't seen them before.

signature[edit]Hi Eric; could you please modify your signature to link to [[User:Ericl|Ericl]] rather than [[Ericl]]? Right now it's trying to point to a redlink in articlespace, which I'm sure wasn't your intent... also, you may want to create a redirect from your userpage to your talk page, if you're not going to put anything there (or like me, you can make your signature link to both). Let me know if you have any trouble working out how to do this... -- nae'blis 16:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
"Acting Vice President"[edit]Thanks for your message about this. I appreciate the information you provided. If you have any sources or documents that use the term "Acting Vice President" in an official context before 1886, could you please let me know what they are. I've done research on related areas and have never seen it used in the U.S. Thanks, Newyorkbrad 20:59, 14 November 2006 (UTC) Impostors[edit]This quirk fascinated people of the 17th century, then Schiller, Pushkin, etc. For my part, I'm not so sure that he was an impostor. There is always some chance that he was the real tsarevich. Ivan IV's wife acknowledged him as her son, for instance. --Ghirla -трёп- 16:07, 18 November 2006 (UTC) Block[edit]My sincere apologies for blocking you by mistake.

U.S. Congress ending date[edit]I saw your edit summary at the Speaker of the House of Representatives article. Please note that terms of U.S. Congresses end at 12 noon on January 3rd, as indicated in the Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution. Hope this clarifies, let me know if you have any questions. Newyorkbrad 03:09, 31 December 2006 (UTC) By the way, you are absolutely right about there being a "technical gap" in the terms of Speakers, my only point is about exactly when the gap starts. Newyorkbrad 16:24, 31 December 2006 (UTC) 25th Amendment[edit]I saw your edit to Acting President of the United States which mentioned that the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate are constitutionally included in the line of succession of the 25th Amendment. I reverted that change because you are incorrect. While it is true that those officers are mentioned in the 25th amendment, they are mentioned only because those are the officers to whom the President and Vice President/cabinet file written declarations about presidential disability. The 25th Amendment does NOT specify a line of succession except for Vice President. The text of the 25th is even included in the article and available online at Cornell Law School for your review. JasonCNJ 19:02, 31 December 2006 (UTC) I nominated 2012 Democratic National Convention for deletion. If you are trying to build a reputation for yourself as a serious contributor, creating articles of this type and tone (Nothing of importance will happen. The speeches will be for the most part forgettable, and heroes of yore, such as former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton will be trotted out to blow the delegates a kiss or two. The ratings will be very low, even for a convention with no suspense at all.) is probably not the best way to go about it. Please see WP:NOT (particularly the Crystal ball section). A lot of your other contributions look good. Savidan 20:16, 11 January 2007 (UTC) The article is facing a deletion vote. Thought you might like to know.

Chesdovi 13:07, 1 February 2007 (UTC) Hello Ericl. I've put back Presidential Succession Act in this article. The 25th Amendment only mentions the Vice President as the offical to succeed to the Presidency or the Presidential powers & duties (Acting President), no other officials are mentioned. GoodDay 18:33, 6 February 2007 (UTC) Citing sources[edit]My point in adding the {{fact}} marker to United States presidential election, 2008 timeline wasn't that it's controversial now. It's that adding the references as you add the material is much easier now than it is down the road after all of the news links dry up. Please cite sources in the article rather than only in the comment in the change history. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to do it. Thanks! -- RobLa 05:08, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Richard Codey[edit]To clarify, every time the governor leaves the state or is unable to perform his duties, Richard Codey has been Acting Governor. While I'm sure that you could get an exact count, this has happened likely dozens of times since Codey became Senate President, so this is NOT the Codey's third stint as Acting Governor. On the List of Governors of New Jersey, Acting Governors are listed only if they are serving due to a vacancy, not due to the temporary incapacitation of a sitting governor, as in the current case. Alansohn 18:41, 13 April 2007 (UTC) hello eric[edit]sofi abu taleb wasn't a president, it was a transitional period after the assassination of Sadat because he was the head of the parliament, and this is what happens at the emergency situations according to the constitution, he wasn't chosen by the people and he wasn't able to do what the president can do. u know ? it happened again when the current president went for a surgery in Germany and he delegated the prime-minister some authority, but he couldn't assigns a minister or makes a war decision and so on, i live in egypt and i'm sure he wasn't a PRESIDENT and thanx for ur co-op George Washington[edit]
Please use edit summaries[edit]Hello. Please be courteous to other editors and use edit summaries when updating articles. The Mathbot tool shows your usage of edit summaries to be extremely low:
Using edit summaries helps other editors quickly understand your edits, which is especially useful when you make changes to articles that are on others' watchlists.

Yes, all US news outlets are talking about Paterson's likely ascension to governor in the coming hours or days, but it hasn't happened yet, and since Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, Wikipedia can't say that it has happened. I believe the article already says that he is likely to become governor, so I think that is all that is needed. Thanks, and happy wiki-ing! --Jaysweet (talk) 14:47, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Reply[edit]Okay, first of all, please do not put messages for me on my user page -- those messages belong on my user talk page. This is a common confusion with new users, so don't worry too much about it. But anyway, I moved your comment to my user talk page. Secondly, we have to be very careful here. Every US news outlet is reporting that Spitzer's aides have said that he will resign at 11:30AM EST. If you want to put that in the article, that is fine. But it hasn't happened yet, and until it does, Paterson is not governor. The aides could be lying. Spitzer could change his mind. Neither of these things are likely, but again, WP:CRYSTAL is very clear about this. And even if we take for granted that the aides are correct and that Spitzer will resign at 11:30, Paterson does not become governor until that time, and his Wikipedia article should reflect that. I hope this makes sense to you. As I said, if you want to start working on a version of the Paterson article that names him as governor, you can do that in Sandbox space (e.g. create a page called User:Ericl/David Paterson that you can edit yourself) and then, when Spitzer announces his resignation, you can copy that page into the actual article. Until then, do not continue to say that Paterson is governor, because he's not. Not yet. Thanks! --Jaysweet (talk) 15:01, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Source for revotes?[edit]Hey, Ericl, do you have a source for the revote thing you just added to United States presidential election, 2008? I see lots of articles talking about all the hand-wringing about the possibility of revotes, but I haven't seen any breaking news saying they are actually likely to be held on such-and-such a date. I was wondering what you source was for that? (Incidentally, I am not Wikistalking you, I just happen to have both David Paterson and United States presidential election, 2008 on my Watchlist. I promise! :) ) --Jaysweet (talk) 16:17, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material.

Unknown ruler of Persia needs sourcing if it is going to remain. It's currently being considered for deletion at AfD; a five day deletion discussion process. I did some preliminary research looking for mention of the unknown ruler and so far haven't found anything. Can you tell me where you got the information to write this article? I can help you cite the source if it's a source we can use. Sourcing the article is what the way to make the article encyclopedic and not be deleted. As the creator, you are best situated to supply a source.

You claimed that it was "political correctness" to use the word "Sami", insted of "lapp" [3]. Had you read the article you would have learned that the word "lapp" was derogatory and stated the reasons why it was. If you had a question, you could have asked it on the discussion page, otherwise what you did would be considered vandalism.

Cheers, пﮟოьεԻ 57 17:03, 30 October 2008 (UTC) La Garita[edit]In fairness La Garita is beyond doubt the most explosive volcanic eruption known within the last 250 million years but considering 20% of the volume of the siberian traps is known to be ryholite and the fact that the Siberian Traps is one of largest volcanic events in earth's history, we could safely assume that those eruptions were easily the largest explosive eruptions known so far. I give you the benfit of the doubt that La Garita was extrodinarily powerful but at the end of the day the volume still stands as 5000 cubic km meaning it's still a VEI 8 eruption. However if you take a trip to PBS and more specifically NOVA they aired a program called "Mystery of the Megavolcano". On the site for the program is a feature called "Blasts from the past" which list an eruption in africa as having a volume of 1600 cubic miles or 7500 cubic km if you assume that 600 cubic miles = 2500 cubic km.

The policy for minor edits says that they're only for when the edit "could never be the subject of a dispute". For instance, you added content to 2009 New York State Senate leadership crisis, which didn't appear to be completely NPOV, and still marked it minor. As a general rule, whenever you add any content, it isn't a minor edit. -- Austin512 (talk • contribs) 16:29, 9 July 2009 (UTC) Eve Frank article[edit]Hi Ericle: Your recent article about Eve Frank is troubling. The article deals with a highly controversial topic therefore it is doubly important to ensure that it be accurate and factual and state the truth. It is undoubtedly an important subject, but the only WP:CITE you make is to a weirdo site that has no information, only ads. The article also claims that the US judge Felix Frankfurter was descended from her, how did you arrive at this conclusion? You need to back up such serious claims with WP:RS otherwise the article will be ammended and cut down to a stub until reliable sources can be obtained.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Schedule of the 2012 Republican National Convention. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – 2012 Republican National Convention. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at 2012 Republican National Convention – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page. If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia.

CivisHibernius (talk) 05:36, 5 January 2015 (UTC) Right so all you can offer is a Martyn Turner cartoon which highlights the disproportionate response on the part of the Israeli military, a statement from a Labour Party Minister (a man I personally do not like) showing their support for a two state solution by funding Palestinian Institutions and a member of the NI Assembly who wants the current Israeli ambassador removed. The current ambassador compared Free Palestine activists to Hitler and hilariously photoshopped an image of teditinghe Molly Malone statue in Dublin, showing her covered with a Muslim veil along with the words, "Israel now, Dublin next." I won't mention some of the rumours about why he was moved here. The only time the word "Jew" was mentioned was in that appalling CiF watch article, which is proof that some people really do need a proper hobby.

I also note that the piece does need a proper lead written for it. Would you consider doing an expansion of the piece along these lines?

So, there was no "Progressive Party National Convention" at all. Your page should probably be changed into a redirect to Conference for Progressive Political Action#First Convention, but I will leave that for you to do as article creator. I'm sure some detail can be migrated over from the source you cite, although the count of 1200 delegates you mention (which is what threw me in the first place) is certainly inflated, the actual delegate count was 600-ish.

We noticed though that when you edited The Summer 2015 Invasion of Syria, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Justice and Development Party.

OluwaCurtis The King : talk to me 14:44, 25 July 2015 (UTC) July 2015[edit] {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:18, 25 July 2015 (UTC) Ericl (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: I honestly don't know why I was blocked. I never made any disruptive edits, even though some have claimed I have. The articles on the expansion of the Syrian Civil War in Turkey was not the least bit disruptive. There was a major bruhaha in the media and it deserved an article. Later, the shooting actually started. The references were all good. Major newssites from several major countries, including such ones at the here in the 'States. As to Spillover of the Syrian Civil War, for most of the time I seemed to be only one following it. If you look at my recent clean-up of the article, it is smart, efficient, and to the point. the article is more of an index to the subject. The War has been going on for years and every now and then it starts sploshes over to one of it's neighbors, which is extremely annoying. What I did was not disruptive. My comments at the time may not have been very nice (I didn't mention any names), but the work I did on the edits were necessary and proper. On occasion, I may be brusque, as I was in the 2015 Canadian Election, but think about it. All previous Canadian elections have standardized titles, and the reason that this one does not is because some believe that somehow the election could possibly be delayed by the Harper government past the legal mandated date of October 2015. My changing the title when it appeared that an immediate dissolution would mean it would be in 2015 and not in 2014...what precisely was wrong with that? The current Fixed date election law could not be repealed without the equivilent of declaration of war or a zombie attack (the latter was a bit over the top, I admit), but under normal circumstances, the federal election will indeed take place this year. There were some problems about the 2012 election, which was the last time I "got into trouble", but if you go way back then, you will notice that I was in fact right, and the people I was trying to get removed (candidates, not editors), never got more than 52 votes the entire primary season and didn't deserve to get placed with those people who got not only hundreds of thousands of votes, but delegates as well...if you look at message 61, for example, which asked for speedy deletion of an article about a guy named John Wolfe, Jr. I won that one. The guy came in second for the Democratic Nomination last time out, and got over a hundred thousand votes. Is insisting that he is notable, or Bob Rogers, who was the Democratic nominee for US Senator from Oklahoma, somehow disruptive? Their articles are still up there. The problem, as I see it, is that I'm slightly ahead of the curve when it comes to the current and recent unpleasentness in the middle east. I insisted that the War with ISIS was in fact part of the same war, and I was right. Over the past NINE years, I have done a great deal of good on Wikipedia and have spent vast amounts of effort and time to create and maintain the best of the site. Look at what I've done for US presidential elections.

Ericl (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: You need me. I have been a productive wikipedian for nine years. I have organized and created hundreds of articles and almost none have been deleted. I have mentioned my hard work on US presidential elections, one person said it smacks of “original research “ but that could not be farther from the case. Major newspapers like the New York Times or the Chicago Tribune are NOT considered “primary sources. “ They are easily accessible behind pay walls. The same with “Facts on File’s” database on presidential elections, which is available in many libraries in book form. Photocopying and reformatting numbers (the physical who-got-what-votes tally at the Conventions are NOT copyrighted) is NOT original research, as would going to a presidential library and reading FDR’s letters. I have done work on pretty much every single article on Presidential elections since I arrived here in 2005, and much of my additions and editing is still there. The same as for Presidents and Vice-Presidents of the US, as with the lists for [[Chief Ministers of England]|] and quite a few of Kings and Queens of quite a few countries. Look at what I did for the Succession in Saudi Arabia, for example. When I first got there a couple of years ago it was a complete mess. The articles on the statuatory governing councils were less than bare bones and when King Salmon first took power and cleaned house, there was even an attempt to remove an article I had just put up on the new order of things. These things happen when you have to go to the bathroom and one saves something briefly. A similar thing happened when I was reviving from the dead the article 1860 Constitutional Union Convention and had already added some references. What’s the deal with that? Lesser high officials in foreign countries are notable. Members of the Saudi Cabinet, for example, Khaled al-Tuwaijri, chief for the Saudi Court, was the most powerful non-royal in the Saudi Government. He didn’t have an article until I discovered him just after his ouster in February. My improvements on the article on Prince [Muhammed bin Salman]] were reverted, but that was for political reasons. Someone had decided that the fact he had just been given vast powers and grand titles (he has since become Deputy Crown Prince) should be kept secret. I am quite proud of most of what I have done at Wikipedia, and it would be wrong of you to ban me for all my good works. I have never vandalized anything, and I have been a loyal member of the cause. I have never been deliberately disruptive and have always acted for the good of the community. Please let me back. Ericl (talk) 18:25, 26 July 2015 (UTC) Decline reason: Since 2006 you have received a horrifying number of messages about problems with your editing, but you arrogantly ignore them, and continue in the same way. It is astonishing that you have not been blocked many times over the years, but now that a block has come, it might be hoped that it would prompt you to at last start taking notice of other editors' concerns. On the contrary: every time you have posted here since the block, you have added yet more confirmation that you totally fail to see what the concerns are (or refuse to: but it makes no difference), and that you have no intention whatever of changing. The arrogance that you show in your unblock requests is amazing: did you really think that was the way to persuade an administrator that from now on you will start editing more collaboratively?
