Retirement

HES NOT RETIRED, HE NEVER OFFICIALLY SAID IT! CHANGE IT BACK! 2600:1017:B11E:C30A:A9DC:6069:4A3C:F006 (talk) 16:56, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alright champ, calm down 81.98.180.145 (talk) 08:12, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm kinda with the OP on this one. Absent a formal retirement announcement or multiple reliable sources labeling him as retired, we probably should confine ourselves to noting that he has not been professionally active in recent years. -Ad Orientem (talk) 15:31, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 19:23, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ensign Pulver

I just noticed that Nicholson had a bit part in Ensign Pulver (1965). Is this something worth putting in the article under his early career? Rklawton (talk) 05:13, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The quote by David Thomson is actually "Nicholson is the Hollywood celebrity who is most like a character in some ongoing novel of our times." 2.100.11.190 (talk) 21:32, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
