Talk:Ernest Emerson

message: Dear fellow contributors
MOSNUM no longer encourages date autoformatting, having evolved over the past year or so from the mandatory to the optional after much discussion there and elsewhere of the disadvantages of the system. Related to this, MOSNUM prescribes rules for the raw formatting, irrespective of whether a date is autoformatted or not). MOSLINK and CONTEXT are consistent with this. 
There are at least six disadvantages in using date-autoformatting, which I've capped here:
Removal has generally been met with positive responses by editors. Does anyone object if I remove it from the main text (using a script) in a few days’ time on a trial basis? The original input formatting would be seen by all WPians, not just the huge number of visitors; it would be plain, unobtrusive text, which would give greater prominence to the high-value links.

message: Has the Emerson company stopped mass producing their fixed blade Karambit?  It seems that you cant get these type of knife anymore in Europe. Are these types of knife considered custom jobs by Ernest himself? --Ickesshadow (talk) 17:39, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: They are still listed in the print and online catalogs.  They are not a custom item.  You may want to contact the Company directly, I know a local shop in Nevada received a few of these in the past few months.  They do make their knives in batches, so they may be making something else right now, but I'm sure they have them in stock.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 17:55, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Hard to tell why the citation style had to be changed, but whatever ... page numbers are not needed on those magazines (and in fact, are already given).  We don't typically cite page nos on such small ranges, don't cite them at all on journal articles, and the page ranges given on those magazines is small enough that the text can be verified.

replies: text: I know I'm picking on your pet article Sandy but it doesn't meet 2c requirements for several reasons. Some of the harvs are broken and there is a mix of citation styles. I'm trying to assist on fixing the issues rather than drag the article to FAR. However, if I keep getting flack about helping out I'll just start a FAR and let someone else work on it. I've enough things to do as it is. Brad (talk) 17:40, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Not even close to my "pet" article, whatever that means (I do have one, though :)  Anyway, as I said, I don't understand why the citation style was ever messed with to begin with, but yes, now it needs fixing, but adding page nos when the (small) ranges are already given is not part of that fixin.  And I hope we're not dragging articles to FAR over citation consistency, because that sort of thing is what gives FAC and FAR a bad rap.  By the way, thanks for the help here; I'd offer to help, but I hate harvnbs, would never use them, and don't know how.  SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:03, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I too, dislike harvs but the article had to go one way or the other and Mike chose harvs so that's what he'll get. Brad (talk) 18:52, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

message: has tagged the "Emerson's knives in the media" section since April 2016. What exactly should be done with it? (see also the discussion above) – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:51, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Per this RfC, this type of content now requires secondary sourcing. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:27, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Agreed. I've removed all such instances. I left the paragraph on David Morrell's work as it's the only one that's discussed with a secondary reference. Do you think this paragraph can stay, should it be cut down, or will it be removed? – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 00:49, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: That one is fine IMO. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:26, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

message: I am reviewing this article as part of WP:URFA/2020, an initiative to review and improve Wikipedia's oldest featured articles. I am concerned that this article does not meet the featured article criteria anymore. Some of my concerns are outlined below:
*The article needs an update to include more recent events. The most recent source is from 2015 and more recent activity should be included in the article. 
*The lede is quite short and I think it should be expanded. 
*There are lots of sources listed in "Additional references" that should be evaluated for their inclusion in the article. 
*Lots of the sources in "Cited in article" do not seem to be cited in the article. Should they be removed or used as a source?
Is anyone interested in making improvements to the article, or should this be sent to WP:FAR? Z1720 (talk) 19:32, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
