Talk:Éric Mouquet

Article name

He's Eric Mouquet in the external links (incl. his own website). No evidence supporting any other spelling has been cited (Wikipedia isn't a reliable source, and our WP:naming conventions are not in any way dependent on spellings on other Wikipedias. Gene Nygaard (talk) 17:16, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Since you decided on your own to revert to the wrong spelling, an operation for which the ability to read is apparently not required, I assume you know

• that Éric Mouquet was named according to the French naming system ;
• that whenever a French word, whether it is a given name or anything else, begins by er, followed by a vowel, an accent on the e is mandatory ;
• that it is usual no to write this accent in casual French, but mandatory to write it in formal French ;
• that, as a result, the French language Wikipedia always writes such names with the corresponding accents, because the title of the Wikipedia article on a person should be that person's name.

Now, of course, if your goal is to enforce naming conventions according to which, if the person's name is Éric Mouquet, the title of his Wikipedia article is Xfxzōrfmü, so be it. I just mentioned the mistake because I happened to read the article, I don't care what happens to it. Oyp (talk) 19:50, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

This isn't French Wikipedia. Formal French has no relevance whatsoever here. And the names of our articles should be the names under which the person is best known in English. In this case, it seems pretty clear the he himself spells his name Eric Mouquet in English. Furthermore, in what is cited in the article at least, there is no evidence that he, or anybody else for that matter, ever spells his name "Éric Mouquet" in any language. If you want to move any article, you need to show evidence that this particular person's name is routinely spelled with an accent mark. Showing that somebody spelled his name with an accent in French would probably be good enough to get that name as a variant in the article itself. It wouldn't even take that much to make a redirect appropriate. But that not sufficient to select that as the name to occupy the one slot available for an article's name. But you didn't even do that; you made no showing of any reliable source spelling his name as "Éric". Gene Nygaard (talk) 13:19, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Horrific: Mother kills, eats baby

THE first photos of the cannibal mother accused of killing her baby son then eating his brain have been released, showing an apparently doting, loving mum.http://www.inquisitr.com/wp-content/ottysanchez.jpgFile:.http://www.inquisitr.com/wp-content/ottysanchez.jpg

Relatives of the miami mother of a three-week-old boy found dismembered in his bedroom have told a heartbreaking story of the lead-up to the tragedy. They say the mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia and postpartum psychosis, and the father of the slain baby now says he wants the woman executed.

Otty Sanchez, 33, is charged with capital murder in the death of Scott Wesley Buchholtz-Sanchez.

When authorities found the infant's body Sunday, Sanchez told officers the devil made her do it, police said.

``She was a sweet person and I still love her, but she needs to pay the ultimate price for what she has done, the baby's father, Scott W. Buchholtz, told the San Antonio Express-News.

``She needs to be put to death for what she has done.

Relatives and Buchholtz said Sanchez's mental health deteriorated in the week before her son's death. Buchholtz, who called his son ``baby Scotty, said she often talked about how she needed to see a counsellor. Sanchez told detectives she had been hearing voices. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gungrip (talk • contribs) 22:14, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
