Disambiguation link notification for April 9
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Robert C. Jones, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bound for Glory. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Janice Rule edit
I noticed that you changed the year of Rule's divorce from Gazzara, accompanied by the edit summary "My source is Wikipedia, wherein it says Ben Gazzara divorced Janice Rule in 1979, twice. Plus I googled it". That summary prompts me to make several comments: Please feel free to make the change again when you have a valid source for it. 02:49, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) When an edit has a valid source, the source should be shown via a citation in the text. A citation is visible to anyone who reads the article.
 * 2) As far as I can see, the use of 1979 for their divorce in Ben Gazzara has no valid source. The "Personal life" section says, "He married actress Janice Rule on November 25, 1961 in San Francisco. They had a daughter named Elizabeth. He married model Elke Krivat in 1982 ..." It does not mention the year of divorce from Rule. 1979 appears in the infobox as the year of divorce from Rule, but it hsa no citation. (I added a "Citation needed" template there.)
 * 3) Even if the Gazzara article said that he and Rule were divorced in 1979, that in itself would not be a valid source to use in the Rule article. Wikipedia is not a reliable source. (See WP:CIRCULAR.) If the Gazzara article had a valid citation for a 1979 divorce, then you could use the cited source.
 * 4) Just saying that you used Google to search is too vague. Some results found on Google are valid, but others are not. You need to cite the specific source(s) from a Google search that support the change.
