thread_title: Cusp of Eric Francis disambiguation page?

message: A start ... Search for  on Amazon, opt to search inside the book, search for the word "border," and you'll see a mini-bio under the link "from Back Matter." It isn't really anything more than we've already seen ... but is a start ... I'll find more. Keesiewonder talk 10:00, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: The other Eric Francis

message: I just want to confirm, that it is true that Eric visited me (Robert von Heeren) in Germany and got some of my ephemerides about 1992 QB1 and Pholus. the Pholus ephemeris is also included in a German book "Pholus, Wandler zwischen Saturn and Neptun", Chiron Verlag Tübignen, for which I and Dieter Koch are the authors. Maybe this helps here for verification.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pianorob (talk • contribs) 08:45, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  mentioning me as a source for ephemeris 

message: :No way. Moreover, it does seem possible that the subject had a hand in creating this article. He certainly comments freely here on talk page.
:I suppose there's little actual harm being done here. Other than Wikipedia being used for an 'astrologer's" vanity project.

replies: text: No personal life info?  And why would an astrologer hide his actual birth date?  Does he have something to hide? Most astrologers freely post their birth dates.  Just wondering.::::  Linda Bree (talk) 07:47, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I also concur that this subject not suitably notable for Wiki.  I checked in to correct claims that the subject was writing for publications that do not employ him.  Find this whole page odd and concur that this was likely created by the subject himself as many, many other astrologers and writers of substantial note or record simply do not have wiki pages.  Also, there is a lack of supporting info as to claims of being an investigative reporter that does not come from web sources directly created or owned by the subject himself.

thread_title: Not notable

message: I'm afraid that this person is actually notable.  But the article is a total mess. It should be two or three paragraphs. Right now it is a nightmare of promo cruft. --Theredproject (talk) 02:37, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Semi-protected edit request on 20 July 2018 

message: Requested Changes:
Please remove "New York Daily News" as employer.
Please update "#MeToo allegations and dismissal" section to "#MeToo allegations and dismissals" (plural), as there have been multiple dismissals, which he has shared on his web site.
Please add the following sentence to the #MeToo section:
"Other media outlets and organizations to dismiss Coppolino in 2018 include Radio Kingston, New York Daily News, and Omega Institute for Holistic Studies."
Reason:
Subject is no longer employed by New York Daily News.
If you review the history of http://www.nydailynews.com/horoscopes/ on the Internet Archive, you will see they replaced his long tenure between July 17th 2018 and July 21st 2018.
https://web.archive.org/web/20180717201348/http://www.nydailynews.com/horoscopes/
The additional dismissals can be verified on his own web site: http://ericfrancis.com/wicked-game.html 
Thank you!

replies: text: Partly done: I've made the title of the section plural. Also, I've mentioned Radio Kingston and the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies as part of 's July 30 edit request. However, I didn't make any changes regarding the New York Daily News because the link you provided to his website doesn't explicitly mention that Francis ended his employment there. Using the horoscopes section to infer his departure would be original research, which is prohibited by Wikipedia's policy. If you can find a reliable source that directly documents Francis's departure from the New York Daily News, I'll gladly make this change. — Newslinger talk 21:58, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

message: In 2018, after an internal investigation involving multiple #MeToo allegations, Chronogram severed ties with Francis. The astrologer was let go from his positions at Omega Institute and Radio Kingston in the same time period. [4][8][9][10] Editorial director Brian K. Mahoney published a statement in the July 2018 issue. Kingston Times Reporter Jesse Smith covered the allegations and dismissals in a two-part article in July 2018.

replies: text: Not done:  The Variety article doesn't mention Eric Francis. If you have a source that specifically says Eric Francis is no longer working at the New York Daily News, I'll be happy to make the change. — Newslinger talk 07:02, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

message: We have an editor who is removed sourced material stating that it is libelous. The editor has been reverted multiple times. As this is sourced information this appears to be whitewashing.--VVikingTalkEdits 15:15, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removing sourced material 

message: Several of the articles cited are libelous, on their face. Additionally, from what I have read, Coppolino was let go from the Daily News the day that it was taken over by Tronc/Tribune. In fact his coverage of the MeToo movement begins IN the daily news as he was the first male survivor to come out publicly. It is probable that the whole MeToo scene was retaliatory and that should be included in the article. As it stands now, the article sides with who or whatever "metoo" is and does not even quote his articles on the issue  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Psycherotica (talk • contribs) 02:34, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
