Had any of these links been provided or cited, I would not have moved the article. I don't think that someone moving the page is enough to presume that the spelling in question is correct. For any future moves, I think you'd do well by everyone to just throw a few of these links in the talk page. Croctotheface (talk) 19:01, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Bearing in mind the simple fact that Fichaud has a French-sounding surname, is born in the French-speaking area of Canada, and the French wikipedia (to which there is a language link visible on the left hand side) names him as Éric Fichaud, most editors would have checked -- or at least posted a question on the talk page -- before reverting my move.
It's not my obligation to do your research for you. Wikis, including the French WP, are not considered reliable sources. Considering that this article cited two sources, neither of which used the mark, and there was no evidence anywhere within the article body or talk page that supported its use, I presumed it to be invalid. It could just as easily have been the work of someone who assumed that anyone named Eric from a French-speaking region would use the mark. Again, I just think that you help everyone out by providing a couple of sources, as you've done here, and then there's no controversy. Croctotheface (talk) 19:29, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's not my obligation to do your research either - but I did. And considering the facts I mentioned above, it just takes a little common sense to realise that maybe, just maybe, the move was correct, and post a question instead.
