Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! ~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 20:24, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at I'm Like a Lawyer with the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off (Me & You), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources to see how to add references to an article. Thank you. ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 14:47, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

I did the deed that you brought upon me and added those posters. You're welcome. Jibblesnark86 (talk) 22:44, 7 January 2026 (UTC)

You are the king (or queen) depending on your pronouns! Everyone is SO sensitive about that these days! Alright, not everyone. Thanks again! Eric Carpenter (talk) 17:50, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

Of course! Don't worry, I'm not sensitive lol! Always a pleasure to help! Jibblesnark86 (talk) 19:54, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Tomb Raider nude code legend. 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 – [[:{{{article}}}]]. 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 [[:{{{article}}}]]. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at [[Talk:{{{article}}}|the article's talk page]].

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. 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. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. MrMarmite (talk) 13:40, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi Eric Carpenter. Thank you for your work on Eduard Peters. Another editor, Mariamnei, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Thank you for your work on this article. Please add a source for "After his retirement in 1925, Peters studied geology at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg, with minor subjects in botany, zoology and prehistory. He began excavations in Hegau in 1926, which continued until 1932." Thanks and have a great day!

@Mariamnei: Thanks for your comment, I searched online and could not find references for the section you mentioned in the Eduard Peters article so I removed it. I'll leave it up to other Wikipedia editors to fill out the article, thanks again. Eric Carpenter (talk) 17:31, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

Please note that the source previously listed at the bottom of the article was for all of the content of the article as it stood when created. By moving that citation to the end of the first sentence, you have made it appear that almost all of the rest of the article is unsourced, when most of it is supported by that source. I know the article is not up to current standards, but I think your edit makes it appear that it is less supported by a reliable source than it actually is. - Donald Albury 01:14, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

@Donald Albury:

I re-edited to article to add references to the rest of the text using the reference that was previously at the bottom of the page. Also added a link to an Internet Archive copy of the referenced book, thanks. Eric Carpenter (talk) 16:46, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you. I know the article was not properly referenced when created. I can only plead that I was still new to Wikipedia at the time, and did not have a clear understanding of referencing. Another weakness is that I used only one source, and I have not had access to that source since 2008. If someone had nominated the article for deletion, I would have been hard put to defend it.
