message: I quote the article: "After passing away on February 24th his friend Bill Murray issued a statement that he will miss him very much." Larry Dunn (talk) 02:28, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for noting the awkward wording. I've removed that entire sentence. The cited source actually didn't say anything about "missing" him, and a biography is not an obituary. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 03:21, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

message: If we're going to have this table, we can't rightfully exclude Caddyshack II (despite how dreadful it was, and still is). Ramis co-wrote this sequel, and it would require "X"'s for Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase and Randy Quaid. Jus' sayin'. Doc talk 04:45, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree - this is missing and should be added. Ckruschke (talk) 18:58, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

text: Agree. First time I saw this page, my thought when looking at the table was like yours "Which of these things is not like the other..." Ckruschke (talk) 18:58, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: An interesting aside note (though probably not for this table) is that the Reitman-produced Heavy Metal features Candy, Flaherty, Levy and Ramis. Doc talk 02:43, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: And this is why creating these kinds of tables is a bad idea. Apart from being WP:SYNTH, they could go on forever in all directions because the nature of film and television is inherently collaborative. It's not notable that writers are also directors and actors and that they frequently collaborate, to the point where we keep track of it ourselves in a table.ZarhanFastfire (talk) 17:44, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

message: Regarding the uncertainty about his place of death: At least one version of the AP obituary does say he died in Glencoe, Illinois. See  (caption under photo #3 of 4);  (same caption, found on the left side of the page).  Other versions of the same AP obit just say something like "Chicago area" or "suburban Chicago".  There are some older reports (such as this one from 2009) that confirm that he had lived in Glencoe, and at any rate the private memorial service for him was held at North Shore Congregation Israel in Glencoe.  --Arxiloxos (talk) 06:03, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I grew up with his son, he lived in the same town as I did, Glencoe, and yes, his memorial service was in Glencoe. Lord David, Duke of Glencoe (talk) 19:57, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

message: He is credited throughout the article as the 'writer' of Groundhog Day, indeed it is noted as his 'masterpiece'. Yet, he was only co-writer - the Groundhog Day musical that has opened in London recently credits Danny Rubin as 'co-writer' of Groundhog Day with Ramis (https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2016/aug/18/groundhog-day-tim-minchin-bill-murray). My memory from watching the DVD extras is that Rubin had a script worked out already and Ramis's main contribution was to turn it into a straightline narrative whereas Rubin's original had it starting in the middle (where Phil Connors is already trapped and reliving the days).
I'm not knocking Ramis here, but I think that it is a little unfair on Rubin to give the impression that Groundhog Day is all Ramis's work. GlenUsk2 (talk) 10:17, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Harold Ramis's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "New Yorker":
From The New Yorker: 
From Richard Pryor: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 02:55, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:Harold Ramis]] 

message: Paragraph says 
"Ramis said in 2009 that he planned to make a third Ghostbusters film for release either in mid-2011[23] or for Christmas 2012.[24] The film was eventually made and released in 2016, although directed and co-written by Paul Feig, not Ramis. " 
Of course not Ramis, Ramis died in 2014, and he was sick since 2010, so second sentence doesn't make sense at all. Baloglu (talk) 23:19, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

message: Harold Ramis filled in for Roger Ebert on the Ebert & Roeper show. Ramis reviewed A Good Year, Harsh Times, Copying Beethoven, For Your Consideration, and Fur. The only film Ramis gave a thumbs up to was For Your Consideration back in 2006. Roeper showed film clips of Harold Ramis' work in the film industry at the beginning of the show.
