Talk:Nicholas Hoult

Edit-warring editor

Editor Nottedeluce is edit-warring at this Featured Article to restore his badly written, misformatted version. English is not his native tongue, and he's introduced many blatant grammatical and style errors, such as redundancies and italicizing quotations. Another editor helpfully fixed the text, correcting the errors and fixing the badly written English, and was instantly reverted.

I started fixing his errors manually, and quickly realized that there were too many to make it worthwhile, so I restored the good version, only to see it instantly reverted. At this point, within a couple of hours he's reverted me twice, and the other editor once, leaving such edit summaries as his last: "My English is not correct. It is not my native language. For me it is a good article. DON'T DISREGARD THE WORK OF OTHERS!!" He's getting out of hand. Carlstak (talk) 22:26, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

I have warned the editor in question. We probably need to revert back to the Dec 9 version to undo the questionable changes. —Joeyconnick (talk) 03:56, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

I share Carlstak's concern and concur with Joeyconnick's suggestion to revert, which I did just now. The article is now back to this version. The issues with Nottedeluce's edits were too great to let slide. KyleJoan^talk 09:23, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

I've notified an admin of Nottedeluce's behavior, including the five reverts he's made so far in less than 24 hours. If he continues his edit-warring, we should get some action to stop the nonsense. Carlstak (talk) 17:18, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Returning to the article is throwing away all the work and time of several users, invested in making a good and updated article Nottedeluce (talk) 12:46, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Volver a esa edición del 9 de septiembre, es dejar un artículo que no es neutro y desactualizado. Nottedeluce (talk) 12:45, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

"it's getting out of hand" when all I'm trying to do is make a good article Nottedeluce (talk) 12:44, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

I'm going to continue editing the article. Providing true data and information to create a good final article.

I will do it little by little, over the days, so that you have time to read and verify that it is true and neutral.

I start today with a small part. I have as much right as you to write. and I have you not blocked it. You block me because you hate that I change the article. Nottedeluce (talk) 12:49, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

First, this is English Wikipedia, and if you're going to use the talk page you have to use English, not Spanish. You call yourself a new Wikipedian, but your own talk page shows that you've had a WP account since 2015—eight years ago. When you make major changes to an established article, especially a Featured one, you need to propose on this talk page the changes you want to make, and discuss them with other editors who might object to them, or who may suggest modifications to your proposal. These changes are subject to consensus, and you have to gain a consensus before you make those changes to the article, or they may be reverted by any other editor.

You just got off a 24-hour block, and the first thing you do is leave a note here accusing another editor with the words, "You block me because you hate that I change the article", then you make substantial changes to the lede, without consulting other editors. That's not a good start, and doesn't bode well for your continuing to edit WP. Continue with this behavior, and you will very likely be blocked indefinitely.

change the installments with one L to two, second paragraph last sentence: "He played the mutant Beast (Hank McCoy) in the 2011 superhero film X-Men: First Class, a role he reprised in later instalments of the film series." Carbonear-Trinity-Bay de Verde (talk) 20:14, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

FA Article

I would like to request that this article be reverted to an earlier version. The recent edits made by a new contributor contain unreliable or non-verifiable sources, and the tone does not meet Wikipedia's standards for neutrality and encyclopedic style. 164.215.143.47 (talk) 06:44, 2 September 2025 (UTC)

Yes, the article reeks of ChatGPT, and I've tagged the article accordingly. Here are some diffs:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nicholas_Hoult&diff=prev&oldid=1304809485
• https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nicholas_Hoult&diff=prev&oldid=1304810883
• https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nicholas_Hoult&diff=prev&oldid=1305315861
• https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nicholas_Hoult&diff=prev&oldid=1305316040

A choice quote from the first diff: He also featured in Owen Harris’s dark comedy Kill Your Friends (2015), based on the 2008 novel of the same name. Hoult portrays Steven Stelfox, an executive in the music industry during the 1990s in London. The film is a dark satire about fierce competition and corruption in the music industry, with Stelfox's character at the center of this critique, displaying his arrogant personality and growing dehumanization throughout the story. It's 70% fluff and refers to "Stelfox's character" (the character is Stelfox). Ursus arctos californicus (talk) 23:05, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

I would agree and support a restore to an earlier version. It's unfortunate these additions to a prior FA were allowed to remain or went unnoticed. Nubzor [T][C] 18:48, 23 September 2025 (UTC)

Nicholas Hoult has three children. His third child was born in late 2025 or early 2026, because his wife Bryana Holly alluded to having a newborn at home after her Oscar party appearance with Hoult. ~2026-47733-07 (talk) 11:41, 2 September 2026 (UTC)
