NOTICE: AN APOLOGY TO VERY NEW EDITORS

We are very sorry, but at this present time it's not possible for unregistered users or brand new editors to place questions at the Help desk.
(This only affects you if you are not logged in, or registered your account less than 4 days ago.)
However, you can still get direct assistance on your talk page.
To receive help there, copy and paste the text below into your own talk page (preferred), or into an article's talk page:

{{Help me}} Replace this text with your question. ~~~~

Then click the blue Publish changes button to post it. A Wikipedia volunteer will reply to you there.

We apologise for this inconvenience. It's just a temporary measure to prevent new users from editing this page due to persistent vandalism. Once your account is 'autoconfirmed' you will be able to ask your question at the Help desk without any difficulties.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS HERE unless they are about the help desk itself or you do not have autoconfirmed rights. Go to the help desk to ask questions about how to use Wikipedia.

This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Help desk page.

Put new text under old text. Click here to start a new topic.

Please change the page for Joshua L. Pomer, http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Joshua_L._Pomer, to be entitled "Josh Pomer" instead. No one knows this filmmaker's middle initial, therefore it is difficult to find the page when searching for him. His identifiable name is "Josh Pomer." https://www.thesurfnetwork.com/studio/Josh%20Pomer%20Films Surfwizard (talk) 23:00, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: page move requests should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Additionally, this is the help desk talk page. You should request this at Talk:Joshua L. Pomer. JJP_{Mas_ter} (she/they) 23:27, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
