ArbCom elections are now open!
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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:07, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Anton Yelchin
I've reverted your removal of the recent death template. You may not be aware of this. but we use the template to denote recent deaths where reports are fast and furious. Until we have the coroner's report (and can cite it instead of wackadoo reports from different news agencies), it should remain in place, so that typical readers don't take away possibly false info. When things slow down, it should be removed. Not until then, though. If you disagree, feel free to initiate a discussion about the template's usage on the article discussion page. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 14:57, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Move request
Hi, I've completed the move which you requested on Talk:Rob Delaney (baseball). Can you please fix up any now-incorrect incoming links? Cheers,  Anarchyte  ( work  &#124;  talk )   09:46, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Alex Trebek
I appreciate your finding an alternate source for Alex Trebek's birth name. However, I've listened to 30 minutes or more of that interview video you linked to and I cannot find where his birth name is mentioned in it. I also don't see it written on the enclosing web page. Could you point out where in that web page or video that information is included? If it's in the video itself, it would probably help to change the citation to a "cite video" template, where there is a time= parameter to help people find the reference. Thanks. --Krelnik (talk) 20:27, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh wait, I see what's happening. For some reason by default that page goes to video 2 of 5, but his name is mentioned in video 1 of 5. We need to figure out how to make it link to the right video. --Krelnik (talk) 20:30, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I fixed it myself, it now links to the video directly and indicates it happens at 51 seconds in. Sorry for the intrusion. --Krelnik (talk) 20:41, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, that's no problem. Thanks! Nohomersryan (talk) 20:42, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Phil Murphy
Thank you for fixing the redirect to Phil Murphy. I can't see what problem existed, nor can I follow the fix, but that was my first redirect, and I'm sure I did something wrong. I'd be happy for you to tell me how to do it better next time. Regards, YoPienso (talk) 21:42, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Jim Justice
Ok fair enough, but can you explain why we're duplicating the text in two places on the same article? --Hammersoft (talk) 21:46, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Leads of officeholders typically include their party, so Justice's switch is probably notable enough to cover in the lead. Fwiw, I think the lead will be able to just say "he was a Dem but became GOP" after he officially announces it (right now it's a bit unwieldy since it's just reports), and the article body will go into detail about his switch and how he announced it at the Trump rally.

Revert on Deaths in 2018
So is it better to leave Jack Hynes as is because it leads to the wrong thing? That doesn't make sense to me Snickers2686 (talk) 04:20, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I initially linked it as a redlink when I first edited the page, which is what it should be if there's no page for him. Looks like along the way it was changed to point to a DAB. Nohomersryan (talk) 04:33, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

A page you created has been nominated for deletion as an attack page, according to section G10 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Do not create pages that attack, threaten, or disparage their subject or any other entity. Attack pages and files are not tolerated by Wikipedia, and users who create or add such material may be blocked from editing. Nerd1a4i (talk) 18:19, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
 * what page prompted this? I haven't created any articles recently, certainly no attack pages. Nohomersryan (talk) 21:59, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I really apologize, this was a bit of an accident. You created a redirect, and a user edited that page to contain some...interesting information about Vice President Pence; I thought the whole page had been created by them because they had previously created a whole page, so I CSD'd it. You were the original creator so it showed up on your page. I'm sorry this happened, and I hope you have a great day! --Nerd1a4i (talk) 13:04, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 2
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited War of the Satellites, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Allied Artists ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/War_of_the_Satellites check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/War_of_the_Satellites?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Your move request
Your move request at Talk:Every Which Way but Loose (film) is indeed malformed, because Every Which Way but Loose has non-redirecting content and is not requested to be moved – see WP:RM. And how did my fix break WP:RM? I've fixed these types of move requests many times and there was no such breakage. So please self-revert and fix the malformity.  P.I. Ellsworth   ed.  put'r there 05:18, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I left a comment on your talk page, but I'll go into more detail here. The RM bot doesn't seem to be able to parse non links in rm messages. As a result, the listing at Requested moves/Current discussions was changed from:


 * (Discuss) – Every Which Way but Loose (film) → Every Which Way but Loose – The film is the clear primary topic. The only other topic is the film's title song, and the film gets 97.5% of the pageviews . Nohomersryan (talk) 22:37, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

to


 * (Discuss) – Every Which Way but Loose (film) → Every Which Way but Loose – project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&range=latest-90&pages=Every_Which_Way_but_Loose_(film)&#124;Every_Which_Way_but_Loose_(song)]. Nohomersryan (talk) 22:37, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Every Which Way but Loose → (deleted to make way for page move)

permalink


 * This happened with a handful of other RMs you edited too, it just wasn't as apparent since they didn't have URLs. For instance:

the Billy Gilmour RM was added as follows:
 * (Discuss) – Billy Gilmour (footballer) → Billy Gilmour – WP:PRIMARYTOPIC Dat GuyTalkContribs 12:57, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

and became:


 * (Discuss) – Billy Gilmour (footballer) → Billy Gilmour – DatGuyTalkContribs 12:57, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Billy Gilmour → (deleted to make way for page move)

See the issue?


 * I don't think a move request is malformed just because the bot can't detect a dab page, that's the bot's problem. Is using a multi-move template on a page and having to include superfluous gibberish any more "correct"? Nohomersryan (talk) 05:34, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I see your point, and I'm sorry I left this message, but I didn't see your note on my talk page until after I posted this. Thank you for pointing it out to me! I began doing this to fix malformed RMs and yours is seen as malformed by the RMCD bot; however, I do see that a different solution is needed. Usually, the dab page at the base name has to be moved to, for example, Every Which Way but Loose (disambiguation), but that is not called for in a WP:TWODABS situation like this. If such a request is granted, then the dab page should be deleted to make way for the page move. Let me think about all this and see if I can't come up with a better solution. Thanks again for bringing all this to my attention!  P.I. Ellsworth   ed.  put'r there 05:48, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Np, don't worry about it. Not like I'm drowning in messages here. I did see there was a brief discussion on the RM talk page about improperly flagged "malformed" requests, but it didn't really go anywhere. Perhaps worth revisiting. Nohomersryan (talk) 05:51, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I discovered where I was going wrong. It occurred to me that the bot has no trouble handling red links – it handles them all the time when a page move happens to be to a red link. So I was going wrong by not actually linking the second nomination, which I will do from now on. Keep an eye on your move request and let me know if you see anything that doesn't add up.  P.I. Ellsworth   ed.  put'r there 09:48, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Reply to your question in edit summary
Regarding this question you asked here, the reason I reverted your change is that, in your original edit here, you did not merely add some additional information, you simultaneously removed 600+ characters of existing text, including several reliable sources which were being used. Adding things is good. Your second edit is good. There is nothing wrong with the second time you added it. You should do things like that all the time, like as much as you can at Wikipedia. Your first edit removed a lot of good stuff. You should not do that again. I hope that clarifies your problem. In summary: adding things = good. Removing things while you add something else = bad. -- Jayron 32 21:06, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks for expanding, since your comment did puzzle me. I just figured the previous material was ambiguous enough that the actual details of the event would be an appropriate supersede. Sorry if my impulsiveness came off as vandalistic. Nohomersryan (talk) 21:25, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Don't break references when you edit
When you make edits like, it "breaks" the references because you've detached the reference from the statement it once supported and attached it to your new statement. Don't do this. It's a difficult kind of mistake for most editors to detect and can end up being really tedious to fix after enough time has gone by. I had to undo your edit because of an edit conflict but I'll go ahead and redo your edit without the breakage. Jason Quinn (talk)
 * Done. Re-added with . In this case, the second source does support your sentence. So I've used a new ref just for that. This would be the proper way to do it. Jason Quinn (talk) 23:49, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up (and fixing it). This was a mental blunder on my part. I went to replace the Kubrick book source because it seemed redundant (the Deadline source has the DOB and the family info, which isn't in the book as far as I can see) until I realized at the last second it had the Polish-Jewish stuff, so at the last second I reverted myself before I submitted. Will keep it in mind in the future though Nohomersryan (talk) 23:59, 1 July 2022 (UTC)


 * No biggie. I make a mistake almost every other edit. ;-) Jason Quinn (talk) 01:15, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Sorry. I had overlooked the link to that book. Though TBH, I'm not sure if that can be used as a source as well. Because you have to borrow it to even read that page and below has 1949 as her birth year(which is likely incorrect). But I'll leave it up. Kcj5062 (talk) 19:48, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
