Birthdate

I am wondering where the information that Jamie Dornan's birthdate is 4 June 1982 came from. According to the IMDb website, it is 1 May 1982. PerriAlexis (talk) 02:51, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

'The' Teeside University? Nobody would refer to it like that. It seems some editors of this page are 50 Shades of Earl Grey numpties. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.147.119.166 (talk) 16:31, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

The 'titular' character in 50 Shades of Grey?

I know what the editor meant but I don't think titular is accurate, in that it is used incorrectly here as a synonym for eponymous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by QuintBy (talk • contribs) 18:01, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Photo in infobox

Please note that per WP:LEADIMAGE the lead image should be an image that is a natural visual representation of the person. A face that has the eyebrows distorted is not the most natural representation of the person. Until a better one comes along, I would suggest not to use that image as the lead image. Hzh (talk) 13:40, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

"Until a better one comes along" I suggest you do not change the best one available..replace an actual "headshot" with one taken from long range and poorly cropped where the actor is making "ODD" hand gestures with his mouth half wide open is far worse than him smiling with his multiple wrinkles showing..this is his best and recent image--Stemoc 13:55, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

There is a perfectly valid reason not to use a frowning face, and that reason is stated in WP:LEADIMAGE that the image used should be a natural representation. A distorted face due to frowning is not a natural representation, in the same way that you would try to avoid using image of someone yawning or making a funny face on the infobox. Hzh (talk) 13:58, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

he isn't actually frowning is he? and yet to replace a somewhat "natural" image with one where his mouth is half open and a weird hand gesture whis is NOT a natural representation of what the actor looks like in real life..you are not a Commons person so are not aware how hard it is to get good images of celebrities..we can't just take one off the internet, when one good and recent one comes along, it will be replaced..in the meantime, this is the best image of him which is neither odd, awkward or outdated..its a shame its not in colour or it would have been his best image overall..and also this pic was taken in public, like ever other images of celebrities on wikimedia, not a photoshot so will always be a bit weird...--Stemoc 14:06, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Doesn't matter if you want to call it frowning or not, his face is distorted because of his eyebrows, and his mouth is also somewhat pursed (yes, it does make him look odd and awkward). The other image has less distortion, and is therefore preferable, and that is the better image as far as Wikipedia goes. All your Commons argument has no relevance here (as well as wrong, since I have contributed to the Commons for some years now under a different username, as well as this username since a global account was created). Hzh (talk) 14:20, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Since you can't tell the difference between a good image and a poor one, maybe my original comment isn't far from the truth..his face is not "distorted" and in the image you chose, all we see is a "side shot"..his mouth is "pursed" because he is talking to someone, same as the one you chose except with less mouth open..Those are the kind of images i vowed to "get rid off" as many times celebs complain via social networking sites how wikipedia makes them look like doucehbags with odd-timed images, the image you chose is odd timed, it makes Jamie look like a handicapped person with a speech problem..yes, thats how I see it, thats how the rest of the internet will see it as well..if the worst that can happen is his wrinkles being on display then i see it as a good image..I actually prefer we use "actual headshots" in infoboxes than long ranged poorly cropped images that is embarrassing to look at...the close range image is more of a representation of Jamie than that weird side shot ..--Stemoc 14:38, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

I'm not really sure why you think you have a monopoly on judgement or taste and that others who disagree with you have no judgement, but I would repeat that condescension is considered incivility that doesn't help with any discussion. You are not here to act on behalf of celebrities complaining about their images, you are here to improve Wikipedia content in accordance with its guidelines. You haven't add much insight apart from that it is a side shot, and his mouth is opened because he is talking (the hand is irrelevant since it can be cropped if needed). Since your preferred image also has him with his mouth not in its natural position, the only thing you can claim that would make it a better choice is that it is not a side shot, but so far haven't cited any Wikipedia guideline that would support you on that. As far as I can see, the eyebrows do distort his face which would make the image less desirable (or if you like, more "odd-timed" and "douchebag"-like). It is therefore a poorer image as a lead image in the infobox. Hzh (talk) 15:06, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Its you who is acting like you have a monopoly, there was no problem with the image from the start, you just randomly came by and changed it without even discussing it..i just saw the change by chance today, atleast u can see his WHOLE face in the current image which is a MAJOR requirement of WP:LEADIMAGE... you have blatantly removed the original image with a poor one without any justification.... your reasoning is false as anyone can see the current image is FAR SUPERIOR to the one you have chose...I'm tired of fighting people who prioritize making wikipedia as ugly as possible..I have contributed to IMDB for 4 years and wikimedia for over 8 years so i'm waiting for input from other reasonable minded editors to comment here because i doubt anyone in their right mind would accept the berlin image as his "headshot" ..p.s, I'm improving content and images, its you who is trying to make it poor..let me specify the most basic rule of LEADIMAGE, and its the person whose image is used should be IDENTIFIABLE, a side long range shot is NOT IDENTIFIABLE...--Stemoc 16:04, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Please avoid making false assertion. I did make a justification - the image doesn't look like him. You are free to disagree with that opinion, but don't make false accusation. I did not see anyone discuss it first when someone put that image in (Was it you? Did you discuss it and get a consensus first? Why do you demand others do it when you don't?), that is not how Wikipedia works, not all edits needed to be discussed. Also I don't see having a whole face is a major requirement in WP:LEADIMAGE. That image is identifiable to me, the me it is your image that is not readily identifiable because of its distortion. It may come down to personal opinion, but your personal opinion doesn't trump everyone else's. Hzh (talk) 16:19, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

I see that indeed you did make the change from a reasonably good image of Jamie Dornan (of the three it looks most like him - [1]) to your one without any justification or discussion apart from that it is a different image - [2]. That image should be restored while discussion is proceeding. Hzh (talk) 16:28, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

I updated an outdated image, what did you do? ..if you think the pic looks nothing like him then my first assertion of you getting glasses is most definitely factual...its practically my job on wiki to replace and/or update image so someone who randomly comes and removes an image without discussion is IMO vandalising, i'm sorry but i would need glasses with rose tints on them to accept your image selection as being "BETTER" than the current choice...if a person in the image is barely recognisable like your image than it should not be used as the lead image..the 2011 image of jamie was poor, badly cropped, poor lighting and obviously, outdated so it had to be replaced........and [3rd edit conflict], please LEARN to post everything at once, you are making it quite irritating for me to reply to your post even though i give you atleast 30 minutes between post and also, we keep the CURRENT PREFERRED image, you change it and i will revert you for [vandalism]--Stemoc 16:49, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

I think it does change the whole discussion, given that you demand others discuss first before they change your edit, but instead you choose not to discuss your edit, using an image that looks less like him and distorted (therefore an inferior image). You are welcome to take it to the administrator, since you are the one who violated the WP:3RR rule. Hzh (talk) 16:56, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

You changed the previous image without discussion, the discussion would be to keep the current image, not to use the current image..its 5am in my country and i wasted 3 hours talking to someone who has no idea about anything nor how to post in a thread..please, leave the thread and leave the current image intact and let the discussion happen, you keep saying that the image looks "less like him" and yet you are not even trying to prove that it looks less like him..i have discussed this image on IRC before as well and no one ever complained..either you have vision problems or you have some personal agenda against the actor himself where you are intentionally trying to force a poor image to be used on his article, i will not allow it...reverting vandalism is not violating 3RR..and how petty of you to INTENTIONALLY vandalise to force me to revert you..pathetic..I'll be back in 12 hours...--Stemoc 17:06, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

You are not addressing the issue of you changing a pre-existing image (it was the "current" image until changed it), without discussion, justification, or consensus which you demanded of others. Yours was also an inferior image per WP:LEADIMAGE, since the original was full faced, not distorted with odd facial expression, and has none of the "odd-timed" and "douchebag" issue you are concerned with, it looks most like him of the three. Therefore it is up to you to justify the change of image first (I actually have no problem with people changing image without discussion, but you are the one who demanded it). You should also know what is and what is not vandalism before you make such accusation. Hzh (talk) 17:13, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

I'm not familiar enough with policies regarding images and, frankly, I think both images aren't so great (even keeping in mind the difficulty of finding images for Commons) for different so I don't feel confident enough to weigh in. Regardless, I do believe, Stemoc, that you are veering toward incivility and that it would probably serve the discussion better to assume good faith. ~Cheers, TenTonParasol 17:57, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

For the purpose of this discussion, there are three images to consider - 1, 2, 3. None of them are perfect, but I would say image 1 looks the closest to him. Hzh (talk) 18:24, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

I think any picture, headshot or not, is more appropriate to showcase his talent than one taken from the set of Once Upon a Time when he played a recurring character, Sheriff Graham. He's done many more movies and even a TV Show since then, so let's respect him with an appropriate picture Lightningeyes (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:45, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

Preference for image

So that we don't have endless revert, it would be appreciated if people can decide by consensus which of the Jamie Dornan's they would prefer -

• Image 1
• image 2
• image 3

I'd vote for image 1 because it is full faced, does not have any facial distortion, it therefore most resembles the person and satisfies the requirement for "images that are natural and appropriate visual representations of the topic" best per WP:LEADIMAGE. Hzh (talk) 11:07, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

Image 2 is the best picture, but I think image 1 is the most appropriate for his infobox. — Strongjam (talk) 13:30, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

I'd say image 1 is better for the infobox too. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Union of Opposites ‖ 13:39, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

ahh, so he is getting people to vote via canvassing,so sad... as per my original stance, IMAGE 2 as its the most recent, best quality, best size, best cropped and best "representation" of Jamie...--Stemoc 13:46, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

I'm merely inviting those who have edited this page the most times and those who are still active editors in Wikipedia according to here, recent editors, as well as those knowledgeable in the topic from the Image Manual of Style page in the hope of getting enough votes to reach a consensus. Hzh (talk) 13:59, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

@Stemoc: Do you actually read the policies you selectively cite, while ignoring others? At WP:CANVASS: "In general, it is perfectly acceptable to notify other editors of ongoing discussions, provided that it is done with the intent to improve the quality of the discussion by broadening participation to more fully achieve consensus." Dwpaul ^Talk 14:11, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

I'm aware, but when you have to canvass to get people's attention, it generally means they were not bothered about the image in the article in the first place...--Stemoc 14:40, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

You are the one who demanded a consensus here. Hzh (talk) 15:25, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

I think that the second image is better since it gives a clearer view of his face and it is the most recent. IPadPerson (talk) 16:53, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

Image 3, after being notified of the ongoing situation of this problem, I decided to add input. I agree that image 3 represents Dornan better. Image 2 contains an expression that isn't very flattering. In fact, it looks like he is about to sneeze. Image 1 is very outdated. We're in 2015, not 2011. He has changed since then. Callmemirela (Talk) 20:35, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

I've been asked to comment and my immediate reaction is, "None of the above." Images 1 and 3 are out of focus, with 3 suffering from clutter and from being a side view. Image 2 is in black-and-white, which doesn't disqualify it, certainly, but — and this may just be me — I'm not really finding that it looks much like him, or at least how he usually appears. If my back were to the wall, I'd pick Image 1 in the hopes that shrinking it to infobox size will make it appear a bit sharper. Hope this helps. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:23, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

After a week without any further contributions, this is how it stands -

• Image 1 - Hzh, Strongjam, Ebyabe, Tenebrae
• image 2 - Stemoc, IPadPerson
• image 3 - Callmemirela

Strongjam considered Image 2 the best picture but also thought that Image 1 is the most appropriate for the infobox, hence I'm putting his/her vote there. Tenebrae also expressed reservation about the quality of Image 1 but would choose it. There appears to be a majority in favor of Image 1, so I will change the image on the infobox. I'm leaving this open for a longer period if other people want to express their opinion or change their vote. I will have a look in a month or two times. Hzh (talk)

This discussion has been quiet for a long time and though it seems that image one, linked in Hzh's summary about, was preferred for a while after this discussion the article has stayed at a fourth image, one that is a portrait from 2013. It is more recent that image 1, and it avoids the problems brought up in the discussion pointed out above, with the exception that it isn't the most recent image of it. @Genisp: and 186.155.57.38 (talk · contribs) recently removed the image for image three, linked above and currently on the page. I reverted once, the IP edit, admittedly without much explanation. I'm pinging Genisp to point to the discussion and also to reopen this discussion, I guess? ~Cheers, TenTonParasol 21:08, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Nationality.

There seems to be a conflict over what Jamie's nationality should be, personally I would've thought Northern Irish was more appropriate especially considering he's from the Protestant side of the tracks. You'd probably need a source to show that he's taken Irish nationality.--Comnenus (talk) 16:35, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi - Northern Irish is not a nationality in the same way that Cornish is not a nationality. It is however a completely valid form of identity. Are there any wp:rs where Dornan self identifies as Northern Irish? Govindaharihari (talk) 13:03, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Northern Irish may not be an actual nationality but it is regularly used on Wikipedia for people from Northern Ireland. The problem with 'Irish' is that it would imply he's either from the Irish Republic or has Irish citizenship neither of which are true. I think referring to him as Irish is inaccurate.--Comnenus (talk) 17:21, 31 December 2017 (UTC) PS: sorry the late reply.

I am assuming he has an Irish passport. Govindaharihari (talk) 18:35, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

You cannot assume this, you need a reference one way or another. No room on Wikipedia for assumption, only WP:Reliable sources. Canterbury Tail talk 02:10, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

Are there links to wp:rs where he comments in regards to his northern irish status? Have you got a link to support your comment that he has no Irish citizenship? Govindaharihari (talk) 18:37, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Got a link to provide proof he has Irish citizenship? Canterbury Tail talk 02:10, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

I can't find anything to clarify, one comment from someone calling him northern Irish, I'd like to ask him, but thats not working out, after searching and finding little I am happy to stand back and allow you or others to make the choice as I only have limited knowledge in the area, best. Govindaharihari (talk) 18:51, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

"“I just feel Irish, a lot of that’s down to so many different reasons, mostly geography, that we are an island separate from the UK, so how could you, why would you feel more connected to that other piece of land than you do to the piece of land that you are living on?"

"I have had my whole life either being in Lansdowne Road in Dublin or watching it on TV or watching it in pubs all over the world, just screaming ‘go on Ireland, come on Ireland’ and how could I not call myself Irish?"

We should be calling him Irish, not the neutral "Northern Irish" and especially not British based on these comments. He's made his nationality pretty clear. Stevenbfg (talk) 20:02, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Unfortunately using that interview to claim he has Irish citizenship is WP:Original research and pure WP:Synthesis, that's not what he says. We have the OR and Synthesis policies for a reason, and this source very strongly falls afoul of them. He says he feels Irish. Lots of people from Northern Ireland consider they feel Irish, but aren't actually Irish citizenship. Heck, even Ian Paisley said he's Irish, but he didn't mean citizenship or nationality, just from being from an island called Ireland and feeling kinship for those south of the border. You need a source that states, categorically, that he has Irish citizenship. Canterbury Tail talk 02:21, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

You can't classify someone from a country if they have no connections and no passport simply by identifying. Northern Irish is a country therefore it is obviously a nationality and not otherwise, either that or British. He simply cannot be classified as Irish it is illogical and makes no sense. Stuv3 (talk) 10:15, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

I think you need only look at the article on Irish Nationality Law to see that everyone born on the island of Ireland is an Irish citizen. Furthermore the fact that he identifies as Irish personally solidifies the fact that he is solely Irish, as he legally holds Irish citizenship and identifies as such. It would be illogical to say he is anything else. 01:42, 4 March 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr Serious Guy (talk • contribs)

You may wish to re-read that. Anyone born on the island of Ireland can claim Irish citizenship, not is automatically an Irish citizen. Republic of Ireland cannot impose Irish citizenship on people born in another country. Yes he can claim Irish citizenship, however the sources don't back up that he has taken Irish citizenship or that he has renounced his British citizenship that he would have been born with. Read WP:OR and WP:Synthesis. Unless you have a source stating very clearly that he has Irish citizenship, we cannot claim he has it. As a result it should stay with the accepted norm for people from Northern Ireland as just "from Northern Ireland" unless a source specifically states he has Irish citizenship. "Feels Irish", cheers for Ireland and spent time in Dublin do not equal Irish citizenship, and to claim so it pure original research and synthesis. Canterbury Tail talk 02:55, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

I've just put him into the more accurate sub-categories of "from Northern Ireland". All the Irish categories have sub-categories for "from Northern Ireland" to cover just these kind of situations. Often the Irish categories are lumped in as country categories, meaning from Republic of Ireland, which he isn't. Sub-categories that are more specific are more relevant here and don't presume a nationality. Realistically though we should not refer to him as Irish nationality unless we have evidence he has Irish citizenship. Born in NI means British by default unless a conscious decision has been made to rescind and take up Irish citizenship, which we have no evidence of. As a result we should avoid actual specific nationality/citizenship one way or another unless there is a reliable source that states he categorically has one citizenship or another. Canterbury Tail talk 02:07, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

Also you cannot say Northern Irish, not a nationality, that would be British. However standard practice for people from Northern Ireland on Wikipedia is to use neutral "from Northern Ireland" unless there is very solid references that they hold one particular nationality or another. Canterbury Tail talk 02:15, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

Nationality section break

Note all. Do not insert a nationality or assumption of nationality into the article unless you can locate a source that states, specifically states, he has Irish citizenship. People born in NI are British citizens by birth unless a choice has been made to rescind British citizenship and take Irish citizenship. Yes all people in NI are entitled to Irish citizenship, but despite some incorrect interpretation by some editors, it is not automatically conferred at birth. You need to apply for it. WP:Synthesis applies here as this is a controversial topic. As per the Synthesis policy "Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources." This means unless a reliable source can be located that specifically states they have X citizenship, we cannot add that. "I feel Irish" does not equal evidence of citizenship or nationality. Also be aware that all rules regarding WP:BLP apply here. Since this is a controversial area, and has been subject to much edit warring, I am pinging a few users who are experienced in this area just to keep this on their radar. Mabuska, BrownHairedGirl, GoodDay, Doug Weller. Note these editors are all from both sides of the NI political divide, or separated from it completely, so have differing opinions on the state of Northern Ireland in relation to Ireland, and edit neutrally on these topics. Canterbury Tail talk 03:22, 4 March 2018 (UTC) Bastun, mistyped previously. Canterbury Tail talk 03:23, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

• @Canterbury Tail: It seems to me that you have gotten a part of the way to an NPOV position, but not all the way. And some of your assertions are wrong, esp your fixation on legal citizenship.

The NPOV position is simply that he is "from Northern Ireland", unless reliable sources are more specific.

4 principles apply in all cases:

1. Do not assume that being "from Northern Ireland" implies a "Northern Irish" identity.
   The 2011 census shows that only ~20% of people in Northern Ireland primarily identify as "Northern Irish", and only ~30% accept the label as an part of their identity (see Demography of Northern Ireland#National_identity)
2. Wikpedia's nationality categories are based on a broad and fuzzy mix of "nationality"/"national identity"/"notable association with a country". They are not based on legal citizenship, because most biographies have no reliable source on legal status
3. Do not assume that national identity depends on legal citizenship.
   (e.g. I have no idea whether Bobby Sands ever held a passport or legally claimed Irish citizenship. But it's v clear that he had an Irish identity)
4. Do not assume that either British or Irish identity is some sort of default.
   The Good Friday Agreement is v clear that both identities have equal status.

I have not examined any of the details of the dispute about this article. I am simply asserting basic NPOV principles. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 07:09, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you BrownHairedGirl. And yes I got aware I was getting to deep into this which is why I asked for other neutral people to take a look into it. There was so much misinformation around and I've gotten involved. Canterbury Tail talk 14:01, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Why is the NPOV position that he is from "Northern Ireland" rather than the UK? NI is legally a part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland. It's factual to state a person born in Northern Ireland is born in the UK. This is true even if they rescind their British citizenship and take Irish citizenship - that doesn't change where they are born. Piers39293 (talk) 02:33, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Northern Ireland is one of the constituent parts of the United Kingdom. On Wikipedia we usually say people are from Scotland, England, Northern Ireland or Wales rather than the United Kingdom. Also from Northern Ireland is more specific than from the United Kingdom, and is much more related to the topic being treated. From Northern Ireland has become normal neutral factual language on Wikipedia in these situations. If we used from the United Kingdom it could be interpreted by some as putting a slant on it, and removing the fact that they are from Northern Ireland. Canterbury Tail talk 13:58, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

I'll always side with using British, when it concerns the nationality of people from the United Kingdom. The UK is the sovereign state here. Needless to say, I despise that we use Scottish, English, Northern Irish & Welsh on most of these UK bios. GoodDay (talk) 11:05, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

/sigh... Way to entirely miss the point... Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 20:54, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Unless Jamie has stated that he is Irish then we shouldn't use it in the nationality sense. Also "Northern Irish" is a grographical descriptor. Yes it is an identity for some but is also a term that means someone from Northern Ireland, which all people born or living here are. I also agree with GoodDay's statement overall. Mabuska ^(talk) 16:07, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

As Mabuska, he'd have to say it. And the census information given above shows that "Northern Irish" as an ethnic identity really requires self-identifying as such, we can't decide. Doug Weller talk 17:55, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Comprehensive advice there from BrownHairedGirl. I agree with Doug - we can say he's "from Northern Ireland", and not "is Northern Irish" unless self-identified as such. (But good luck describing Saoirse Ronan as "just Irish") ;-) Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 20:54, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

If he described himself as being a chair? do we put in the intro that he's a chair? The guy's British, period. At the very least, if there's doubt about what nationality to use? then British should be the default, as the UK is the sovereign state. GoodDay (talk) 18:06, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

GoodDay, please stop trolling Irish/Northern Irish articles. Weren't you on a self-imposed (or Arbcom imposed?) break from such articles, and definitely on one from the one-line "stirring it" comments on talk pages? Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 22:19, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

I pinged GoodDay to this article to help provide differing viewpoints. Canterbury Tail talk 23:01, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

The Good Friday Agreement states that any individual born in Northern Ireland has the birth right to identify as, be respected as well as hold citizenship as an Irish citizen. As someone mentioned, they are NOT automatically solely British citizens and they do not have to 'rescind' this to hold Irish citizenship. I believe under the Good Friday Agreement, as it states that their choice of nationality should be respected, it should state that Jamie is Irish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr Serious Guy (talk • contribs) 17:17, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Okay yes that’s all true. But Do you have a reference that states he has Irish citizenship? Canterbury Tail talk 00:30, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

It doesn't matter, it's a violation of an international agreement to refuse to state that someone is an Irish citizen when they identify as such. --Mr Serious Guy (talk) 10:47, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

How do you know he has it. All this has to go on is a single line of him mentioning in an interview “I feel Irish”. That’s not a reliable source to hang anything off, he has never stated “ I am Irish”, just “ I feel Irish”. I’m currently in Japan. I love it here, I fit in in certain circles, I could say “I feel Japanese,” but it doesn’t mean anything. Unfortunately we need a little more to go on to make it an even basically reliable reference. Canterbury Tail talk 12:05, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

I think that's an offensive comparison. Jamie was born in Northern Ireland, which automatically grants him the right to be an Irish citizen and be respected as Irish (if he so chooses) under UK and Irish law. The refusal to refer to him as the nationality of his own preference is in clear conflict with this law. Jamie saying 'I feel Irish' is a clear indication of his national identity, which under the Northern Ireland Act 1998 must be legitimised and respected (read the act + agreement and you'll see.) --Mr Serious Guy (talk) 20:06, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

I have read it, very closely, I am aware of what it says and agree that if someone choose to identify as Irish then they have the right to apply for Irish citizenship and identify as Irish. Unfortunately that isn’t a reliable enough source for him claiming Irish identity. This has nothing to do with that agreement and everything to do with Wikipedias basic rules on references and verifiability. Needs a better reference as that reference doesn’t support the claim. Canterbury Tail talk 23:33, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

He was born in Northern Ireland, United Mega Kingdom. Northern Ireland is part of the UK. so He is British since the day he was born in to this earth. He has a British passport because He is a British citizen — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.207.195.12 (talk) 08:16, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

Second section break

So rather than removing material, let's consider. He has stated that he identifies as Irish. That's now well referenced. We can certainly include the fact that he identifies as Irish, and not state his citizenship, and thereby follow WP:V, WP:RS, and WP:NOR. I think the removal is not justified, but hopefully my slight re-wording is sufficient? Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 18:10, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Actually no, none of those sources technically have him identifying as Irish. The closest he seems to have ever come is saying he "feels Irish." That's a long way from the self-identification of nationality and identity that we think of when we put in an article that someone is Irish. I have trouble convincing myself it's close to the same as someone identifying as Irish. Heck even Ian Paisley said he was Irish, but not Irish as in the citizenship type of thing. To use a really stupdi example would be all the people in North America on St Patrick's Day claiming to be Irish or "feel Irish" (I hate those days, shudder.) Big problem is Irish means a lot of things in a lot of contexts. Is someone born on the island of Ireland Irish? Yes, from a perspective. But there are many forms of Irish, nationality, citizenship, "feels." We all know this is a very nuanced and complex topic, so we should insist on good sources. I'm sorry but sources that only every use "feel Irish" as the closest thing wouldn't be reliable under other circumstances to support a claim on other articles about other items. Canterbury Tail talk 18:22, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Bit late here, but this video has Dornan stating twice 'yes, I am Irish.' in response to the questions 'what nationality is Jamie Dornan?' and 'is Jamie Dornan Irish?' To me, this is very blatant identification as Irish by Dornan.--Mr Serious Guy (talk) 15:25, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

"I have had my whole life either being in Lansdowne Road in Dublin or watching it on TV or watching it in pubs all over the world, just screaming ‘go on Ireland, come on Ireland’ and how could I not call myself Irish?" is pretty convincing, but “I just feel Irish, a lot of that’s down to so many different reasons, mostly geography, that we are an island separate from the UK, so how could you, why would you feel more connected to that other piece of land than you do to the piece of land that you are living on?" seals it for me. That's strong identification, and certainly enough to back the statement that Dornan identifies as Irish. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 19:30, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

@Canterbury Tail: In addition to saying that he "feels" Irish, he also said "how could I not call myself Irish?" Note that I agree with previous conclusion that there is insufficient evidence to suggest any sort of national identity or citizenship (for example, he can feel and call himself Irish even with only UK citizenship). Therefore I re-edited it as "he considers himself Irish", which does not suggest nationality nor precludes any other identity (for example, though unlikely based on context, he might state that he also considers himself British). I still believe this is pertinent information for someone researching about him; for example, on Reddit someone called him a "British actor" before being corrected, so I am against removal. I apologize for not going through the entire talk page before embarking on the original edit. --egawaryuki21

"Professor" title

INeedSupport reverted my removal of the title "Professor" in the description of Dornan's father. This is a direct contradiction to MOS:CREDENTIAL: "Academic and professional titles (such as "Dr." or "Professor") should be used in a Wikipedia article only when the subject is widely known by a pseudonym or stage name containing such a title ". I would like for INeedSupport to explain why his/her opinion is more important than an official manual of style for biographies, or revert his/her edit. 75.182.115.183 (talk) 16:02, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

I think that's a valid reason this time. Your edits has been restored INeedSupport (talk) 16:04, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

INeedSupport, what exactly does "this time" mean? 75.182.115.183 (talk) 16:07, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

We don't need to argue again. I think it's done. INeedSupport (talk) 16:08, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

INeedSupport, I'm not arguing. I would just like for you to explain some of your hasty edits of issuing false warnings, making false vandalism reports, and reverting appropriate edits. 75.182.115.183 (talk) 16:12, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Like I mentioned earlier, you didn't violate anything. I was just trying to prevent you to break any rules. You didn't vandalized anything. However, the warnings are there just for you to become a better editor. The reason why I reverted your edits is because someone also previously reverted your edits. I hope you can contribute further to improve Wikipedia. Have a good day!INeedSupport (talk) 16:17, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

INeedSupport, it seems that you are the one who needs to do some serious work to "become a better editor". You revert an edit without regard to an official manual of style simple because someone else reverted it? Again, why? 75.182.115.183 (talk) 16:19, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

No editors are perfect. I still make mistakes to this day. INeedSupport (talk) 16:24, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

INeedSupport, of course no one is perfect, but it seems that you decided to aggressively go after another editor just because he made edits that you didn't bother to consider might have been appropriate. First you issue a false edit warring warning. Then, without even taking a moment to look at the issue involved in the edit, you revert it simply because "someone else previously reverted", then you make a false warning about harassment, and finally you make a false vandalism report. This is not a simple mistake; it's impulsive editing without regard to what is appropriate on Wikipedia. 75.182.115.183 (talk) 16:40, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

I have revoked the vandalism report. There wasn't any vandalism at all. Thanks for telling me that. I'll learn from my mistakes. Although, the way you talked to me seems offensive to me. Have a nice Mothers day! INeedSupport (talk) 17:53, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Move from pending to full protection

Thoughts? Pending is stopping a lot of disruptive editing constantly, however it seems that every single edit by a non-registered user is disruptive here and it's just taking people's time to constantly work with. Anyone object if we switch it to full protection for non-confirmed? Canterbury Tail talk 22:35, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and done so. Canterbury Tail talk 22:08, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

The public Image section

I came to discuss about the crisis we are having right now with Canterbury tails. Fitzwilliams (talk) 12:03, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

The reverted section was removed as it contradicts WP:BLPSTYLE and WP:BLPBALANCE. I'd suggest you read WP:BLP. As a relatively new editor myself, it's easy to fall foul of miriad of rules and guidelines. Biographies of living persons are a particular trap as they have much stricter guidelines than normal articles. It's fine to make mistakes here, but IMO important to understand why reversions happen. Sciencefish (talk) 12:26, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

I wouldn't call it a crisis. However I don't think a section on how their public image is perceived is particularly encyclopaedic. "he never namedrops", that's definitely not something suitable for an encyclopaedia. Someone finding him charming, is an opinion of that person, not a subjective fact. I'm sorry but I think all of that stuff is pure gossip magazine style fluff and not something you'd ever find on an encyclopaedia. Canterbury Tail talk 12:34, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

But, there are several pages of celebrities who behold such sectios. I have mentioned it earlier. Then howcome can those exist not mine? Mine was as a representation of the general perception of him as was those on other pages. I also cited notable magazines and newspapers as those sections on other pages showed earlier. How did my edits become inappropriate and not those? Please underline the difference.

Fitzwilliams (talk) 12:47, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Or do I need to change my choice of notability when I am writing about someone? What is exceptional and neutral, should be selected- is that what I should bear in mind? Fitzwilliams (talk) 13:00, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Also please see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, just because something is on another page doesn't mean it's acceptable. Each page is often dealt with individually unless there is an overall policy. Ultimately this comes down to the fact Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia. Would you see the section in Encyclopaedia Britannica? This isn't supposed to be a profile in a lifestyle magazine, it's an article. Anyway lets see what others have to say. Canterbury Tail talk 14:27, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. Fitzwilliams (talk) 15:01, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

And I removed again a section about him donating a tie to a charity auction. This meets the very definition of trivial and is clearly unencyclopaedic. Bear in mind this is an encyclopaedia, not a gossip column, not a lifestyle magazine, not an online celebrity blog. That someone donated a tie to an auction is not something that should be found in an encyclopaedia article, there is nothing notable about it. I will also point out that it is incumbent on the editor adding information to prove that such information is notable and why it should be included. It was added, I removed it, now it should be discussed not re-added. So edits aside, lets focus on the point at hand. Why do you think it's notable and important that the mention of him donating a tie he wore to a charity auction should be included in an encyclopaedia article on Wikipedia? Canterbury Tail talk 02:06, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

editing problems in philanthropy

Canterbury tail has twice reverted one of my edits and now I am here for other editors' opinions. Donating a tie to charity auctions seems gossip information to Canterbury tail. May I request you all editors who ever see this, go to Kate Winslet's wiki page and see the philanthropy. The second line says," she donated a blue top of her that she wore in ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF A SPOTLESS MIND to a charity auction." Is this gossip? If it is why hasn't anybody reverted it yet? My question is for Canterbury tail, what was the difference between mine and this? Why do you mind this a gossip editing? If these are gossip then you should also revert the one in Winslet's page. Even I mentioned something in your talk page. So , all editors are requested to point out their statements here.

This isn't the Kate Winslet page, I've never looked at that article and as has been pointed out many times WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a reason to include it. On Wikipedia it is the responsibility of the person adding content to explain why it's notable and why it should be included. So I will ask this question. Why do you think that someone donating a tie, that they got for free from a past employer, to an auction, is a notable act of philanthropy worthy of being included in an encyclopaedia article about a person and taking up more room than many of their film roles? Canterbury Tail talk 11:39, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

User:Fitzwilliams, thanks for spotting the Kate Winslet trivia, I've removed it. Sciencefish (talk) 12:03, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

You have to consider the tie wasn't an ordinary tie given to him for his past role. The success of the movie made the ordinary tie precious to his fans and he considered it for donation to create fund for the charity. In this way if you think, it's kindness. It wasn't a selfish money heisting auction that he took participate in. In any tipes of charitable work a celebrity participates in, should be notable I think. And I may say,other stuff exist point give a valid and arguable notion here. ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF A SPOTLESS MIND, was a breakthrough, blockbuster art for the other celebrity for which only a small blue top was worthy of auction. By the way,Wikipedia has enough space to hold a 14-20 words sentence. Fitzwilliams (talk) 11:55, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you Sciencefish for solving the problems. Now there should be no argument regarding this, I think. Fitzwilliams (talk) 12:15, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Citation for a song

I have opened this topic to discuss about a song 'When I go' on Discography. There were no notable citation found anywhere for that song. So I wanted to know if it should be reverted or not. Editors are welcomed to help sort out the problem. Fitzwilliams (talk) 13:30, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

My personal view (others views may differ) is that if we can't find a citation for it it means reliable third party sources aren't talking about it or mentioning it. This would suggest to me that the information is not notable. I think it would fails the WP:NLIST criteria and at best would be trivial. Canterbury Tail talk 13:44, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 29 May 2021

change citation 5 to citation needed - the website hosting the citation is no longer hosting the article - Also greer garson would be 117 years old at this point were she still to be alive, it needs to be investigated that someone at 39 year olds could physically be two generations younger than someone at 117 years old. 79.70.228.241 (talk) 22:49, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

I updated the citation with an archive link; no need to mark as {{cn}}. As to the generational thing - the source specifically says that Garson was his grandmother's first cousin, and while I haven't looked into any specifics the 78-year age difference is entirely plausible. (My oldest grandparent was 69 years older than me and he had some cousins significantly older than he was, so I likely had similar relatives with a greater difference in ages.) ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 23:13, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 29 May 2021 (2)

citation 7 states that greer garson is Jamie's Great-Aunt, not First cousin Twice Removed as stated in citation 5 - this needs correction to make the article state "Jamie is the great-nephew to Greer Garson" rather than falsely stating that Jamie is her first cousin twice removed, which is physically impossible, based on what a first cousin twice removed actually means. (the child, of the child of the cousin) being that Jamie is 39, and Greer would be 117 79.70.228.241 (talk) 23:00, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: Given the more specific information in reference 5 that is pretty much the exact definition of what a first cousin twice removed is (as noted in the previous request), and the often-vague description of distant relatives within families, I'm inclined to leave it as is. The age gap is perfectly explicable, as noted in the previous section. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 23:19, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 30 May 2021

citation 5 EXPLICITY states he is greer garsons great nephew. the wikipedia article states he is a first cousin twice removed, this is infact wrong, as previously stated - article 5, and 7 both quote jamie personally as stating 'my great aunt was a woman called Greer Garson.' the line in the wikipedia article 'he is a first cousin twice removed' is specifically wrong, and is in improper terminology, he is infact the great nephew this line should either read 'he is the great-nephew to greer garson' or 'his great aunt, is greer garson'

Please see this wikipedia article's graphical breakdown of what a cousin tree shows to be a first cousin twice removed, http://up.wiki.x.io/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/CousinTree.svg/1200px-CousinTree.svg.png, and what infact a great aunt is http://up.wiki.x.io/wikipedia/commons/d/d0/Aunts.png

this article implies jamie doesnt know his own family history and is meaning that greer garson is the daughter of his great aunt, which contradicts what he states himself. 79.70.228.241 (talk) 14:32, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

 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. Run n Fly (talk) 15:15, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Protection needed against Vandalism

Just reverted four possible vandalism cases. I Request the authority to impose semi-protection. Fitzwilliams (talk) 16:14, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

To self-righteous, far-Right nationalists such as you adding factual information may be seen as vandalism. However, it's entirely valid to state he was born in the United Kingdom. Piers39293 (talk) 01:47, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Page merge proposal

@Fitzwilliams: Hi there. I don't understand why you created a separate page List of Jamie Dornan performances in Sept 2021. Why not just put the relevant tables into this article under "Filmography". I was about to do that and then stumbled across the existing stuff that you had already done separately. I'd like to propose merging List of Jamie Dornan performances into Jamie Dornan. There is lots of repeated information in the lead and nothing new other than the filmography tables. If you agree, I'll just go ahead and do it, otherwise I'll kick off a proper merge proposal per WP:MERGEPROP. If you're worried the filmography will make this article too long and clunky, the tables can be auto-hidden, but I don't personally see a problem. Rodney Baggins (talk) 10:45, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

At first I also thought that the article was way longer with the awards and filmography tables. But I created that with another point too that the filmography is increasing day by day. So separating that table was a better choice to me. I think it should not be merged because sooner or later, it may be needed. If you have any problem with the repeated stuffs there, you can revert them if you want to. Fitzwilliams (talk) 17:54, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

Ok, I'm happy to leave it as a separate article for now, but I'll do some work on it there. For a start, List of Jamie Dornan performances is a list class article, not a BLP, so it doesn't need an image up top (serves no purpose out of context of an infobox which is not used in a list class article), and the lead section should be cut down substantially (so it doesn't just repeat stuff already covered in the lead of Jamie Dornan). I'll have a go at it later. Rodney Baggins (talk) 09:21, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

@Rodney Baggins: Thanks for that. Before creating the article I visited similar articles where photos were placed. So I added that. And I will suggest not to remove the lead section there, to considerable extent. Because if you follow other similar articles you will find repeat of information too. According to me, we cannot help with the repeat of information there, as notable projects and nominations or awards are also written on the lead article. I think one can just change the style a bit. Fitzwilliams (talk) 15:25, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Jamie Dornan/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Mike Christie (talk · contribs) 13:13, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

I'll review this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 13:13, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Images are appropriately licensed. Earwig shows an overlap with this site but after looking at a couple of other articles it appears they took the text from Wikipedia, not vice versa. Similarly this site appears to have copied from the article.

• "He is not interested in those usual ticks that can make up so many colourful, eye-catching parts": this is faithful to the source, but per MOS:TYPOFIX "ticks" should be corrected to "tics".
• What makes the following reliable sources?
  • 2kiwis.nz -- seems to be a personal website
  • malemodelscene.net -- looks professional but I can't find anything about editorial policy or control. It's used to cite "appeared solo in Calvin Klein's underwear campaign"; why is "solo" worth mentioning?
  • thefashionisto.com -- per this it's a one-person website.
  • tvwise.co.uk -- per this page in 2012 it seems to have been a one-person website. I tried to take a look at the live site but my browser warned me about malware which is not a good sign for reliability.
  • themoviefiftyshadesofgrey.com -- the about us page is not coming up for me on archive.org but it seems to be a fansite.
  • this video -- seems to be a private youtube channel.

I'll continue the review once these are addressed. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 15:40, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

@Mike Christie, I have done couple of stuff with the sources.

• I have replaced 2kiwis.nz with an ABC News article.
• Have removed a possible fansite that you mentioned.
• Replaced tvwise with Digitalspy reference.
• Fixed "ticks" with "tics".

But I couldn't find any alternate for fashionisto. And I also found Male Model scene professional initially but they truly don't have "terms of use and conditions" sorta stuff. Maybe you can take a look at their about us section. Fitzwilliams (talk) 10:53, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

I've struck the ones you've fixed. I took another look at Male Model Scene but the grammar errors in the "About" page (e.g. "MMSCENE is non-for-profit fashion and culture basis organization which aim at further development of research on MMSCENE values, as well as on providing educational services") make me think it might be just a fashion fan's personal site. I think without any more evidence, the three remaining ones should probably be removed too, along with whatever you citing to them. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 11:06, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Okay, then I will remove Terry Richardson mention (with "fashionisto" citation) and solo appearance mention (with "male model scene" citation). And the video, I Had something to tell about it. The video is uploaded on a personal channel, but the channel with username "Ian Drysdale" seems to be owned by the father of the child for whom the campaign was arranged. "Go team Anna" was for Anna Drysdale whose father is Ian Drysdale. So do you think the video can stay there? Fitzwilliams (talk) 11:23, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't think so -- I think it would be best to remove it. See the note on youtube here; if the video was on an official verified account of Dornan's we could use that. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 11:40, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Okay, I have removed it. Hope you can review now. Once again, thanks for your time. Fitzwilliams (talk) 12:06, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

• There are a couple of unsourced sentences -- check the end of each paragraph. There are three in the "Acting" section, and a couple of sentences in the "Acting credits and awards" section.

Spotchecks. Footnote numbers refer to this version:

• FN 65 cites "He later stated that initially he was reluctant about his involvement in the project and knew the franchise would not be treated well by critics." Verified.
• FN 79 cites "Dornan then appeared in two comedy films, Wild Mountain Thyme (2020) and Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar (2021). He won plaudits from critics for his musical number and comedic turn in Barb and Star." The source doesn't mention Wild Mountain Thyme.
• FN 87 cites "He received nominations for the Golden Globe Award and Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Supporting Actor. The film was nominated for Best Picture at the 94th Academy Awards." The source only covers the Academy Awards, not the first sentence.
• FN 93 cites "In 2017, he participated in a charity football match, Game 4 Grenfell, to provide aid to the victims of Grenfell Tower fire in West London that year." This says he was going to participate but unfortunately we can't use it to say he did participate -- people pull out of these things for all kinds of reasons.
• FN 48 cites "While Graham was killed by the town's mayor Regina/the Evil Queen in the episode "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter", Dornan stated that he would return as the Huntsman from the Enchanted Forest at some point. He returned as the Huntsman for the season finale "A Land Without Magic", and later as Graham for the season two episode "Welcome to Storybrooke" in its flashback segment. About his performance, Laura Prudom of The Huffington Post wrote: "Irish-born Jamie Dornan did an excellent job of portraying Graham's hopelessness and confusion"." I don't see support for "stated he would return", or for the mention of the later episodes he appeared in. And unfortunately this source also probably needs to be removed, unless you can make a cause that Laura Prudom is a subject matter expert; there's a note at the top of the page saying "This post was published on the now-closed HuffPost Contributor platform. Contributors control their own work and posted freely to our site." That means this doesn't fall under the editorial control of HuffPost; it's just a blog post and so is unreliable.
• FN 71 cites "For the film, he received his third nomination for best actor in a leading role in Irish Film and Television Award. In the same year, he starred as Jan Kubiš, alongside Cillian Murphy in another war film Anthropoid. Rupert Hawksley of The Daily Telegraph felt that he made a decent fist of portraying Kubis and said: "Nazi nail-biter Anthropoid shows Jamie Dornan has many more than 50 shades"." I'm having trouble accessing this, but at least the first sentence is not supported.
• FN 82 cites "Some critics supposed him to be a miscast." This is the opinion of only one critic, and he doesn't really say he was miscast.

I'm going to stop there and fail this nomination. The spotcheck for a GA has to come up clean; if just one or two of these had had problems I would ask you to fix them and then done more, but finding six issues from seven checks means that it's best to fail it, and give you time to go through and check all the sources to make sure they accurately cover the text they cite. Each citation has to support all the information it is used for, and avoid close paraphrasing. I didn't see any close paraphrasing issues here.

I also notice some prose issues while reading through the article. I'll list a few examples here of things I think need to be fixed. You could try asking the GOCE for a copyedit, or see if anyone else interested in the article is willing to help out.

• "He credited The Fall to be the turning point of his career." "Credited to be" isn't natural wording.
• "Some critics supposed him to be a miscast." "Miscast" can't be used as a noun.
• "Due to busy filming schedule, he stepped down from the patronage in 2021": should be "his busy filming schedule", and "stepped down from the patronage" is odd; would be more natural as "stepped down from his role as a patron".
• "but he had always wanted to act and was steadfast in proving his acting abilities": you can't be steadfast in proving something; steadfast refers to someone's attitude, not to their actions. You could say "he was steadfast in his determination to prove".
• "Dornan's modelling significance was his look": odd phrasing. Do you mean his looks were his main asset as a model? If so, surely that's true for all models?
• "Being a "model turned actor", Dornan stated that the designation held significant stigma concerning such transition." Again, this is very oddly phrased.

The article seems to have the appropriate structure; I think once you've done the source-text integrity checks, and the article's been copyedited, it would be very much worth nominating again. Best of luck with it. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 13:58, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. I really needed the suggestions! I will work on them and see if I can nominate it up again soon. Have a good day. Fitzwilliams (talk) 14:08, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Irish Times Acknowledges

The Irish Times doesn't "acknowledge" anything about actors being in either from Northern Ireland or Ireland in its article. It's a distinction that plays no part in list. So Dornan's birth place isn't "acknowledged" any more than it "acknowledges" Brosnan is from Drogheda or Branagh is from Belfast. Describing Dornan's listing as such is placing undue emphasis on a facet that is not evident in the source. Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 15:08, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

It is stated he is Northern Irish, which is actually an odd descriptor from the Irish Times, but I'm comfortable with it being left out. Canterbury Tail talk 16:46, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
