Duplicate Trope: Somebody Elses Problem

Those two pages, Somebody Else's Problem and Someone Else's Problem, contain pretty much the same text and examples. Perhaps someone intended to rename one of them (the "original" one), but never got through with it.

I suppose we merge the pages, and make one of them a redirect to the other one.

I don't know how I make the thread title to include both articles

Huh... how did that slip through? They are two distinct pages. Agree with merge.

It looks like when the page was un-ptitled, two of the redirects were made into the same page, rather than just one of them.

Somebody Else's Problem was the original title of the trope, so redirect Someone Else's Problem to that page and merge any examples that aren't duplicates.

Adding agreement. Make it so.

Perhaps it wasn't fixed before now because it's somebody else's problem?tongue

[up]I hate you for making me laugh at that.

I think, in all seriousness, that this might be one of those rare but magical instances where we can just do the fix as per ccoa's comment. No crowners or the like needed.

Created Someone Else's Problem as redirect. Will check for examples and put them on Somebody Else's Problem. Hollering for lock.

Nice. Open and shut. If only they were all this easy.
