This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 72.221.70.111 (talk) at 19:23, 7 June 2023 (Steinfeld all but confirmed her middle name, should it be added?). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Potential Hawkeye spoiler: Should her character name be listed as just "Kate Bishop" or "Kate Bishop / Hawkeye"?

Currently the article lists the character name as "Kate Bishop / Hawkeye". I changed that to just "Kate Bishop" with the rationale that it's a spoiler to reveal that Kate Bishop adopts the name Hawkeye since that isn't revealed until the very end of the first season of the show. Reading that here did indeed spoil the reveal for me. My edit was reverted by User:Maxwell King123321 with the rationale that the character name is the same in the comics. I'd argue that there's a large section of the MCU audience who don't know the comics, so it would be a surprise for many (I presume most) viewers of the show. The character name is also listed as just Kate Bishop on several authoritative sources, such as IMDB, Marvel themselves, and Disney+. Are those arguments persuasive at all, User:Maxwell King123321, and would anyone else have any thoughts of this? Thank you. JJC1138 (talk) 06:11, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thanks for bringing this to the talk page. I see where you are coming from but at the end of the series she inadvertently becomes "Hawkeye". If you look on most actors or actresses' pages who play super heroes (see Elizabeth Olsen or Evan Peters) but weren't given their superhero names until later films (or in Peters' case, not at ALL), the names which they are known by are used regardless. I find it better to compare to other similar pages when making changes such as these. Maxwell King123321 10:30, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There is a general consensus not to use spoiler warnings (see Wikipedia:Spoiler). Specifically, it says "It is not acceptable to delete information from an article because you think it spoils the plot." There was a request for comments some time ago, and the rationale for this consensus is summarized at Wikipedia:Spoiler warning/RfC#Arguments for and against. So based on that alone, removing "Hawkeye" would be discouraged. signed, Willondon (talk) 15:51, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Those are fair arguments. Personally, I still think the article would be better with it changed, so I’m tempted to cite Wikipedia:Ignore all rules, but since I’m in currently in a minority of one, I’ll leave it as-is. Thank you both! JJC1138 (talk) 18:48, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ethnicity

Galilee’s mother is Filipino, African-American, British Isles, and German. Christian is a religion, not an ethnicity. 75.3.244.184 (talk) 08:06, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence you are talking about refers to their religion / way of life. Maxwell King123321 10:28, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Listing of awards in introduction

How many awards do we mention in her opening line? "She is the recipient of various accolades, including a Peabody Award, and nominations for an Academy Award, a British Academy Film Award, and a Golden Globe Award." are the most-notable ones, and should suffice.

Middle Name

Time to blow the dust off this old topic. In a Wired Google Autocomplete interview Hailee Steinfeld doesn't say what her middle name is, but she confirms it is in Wikipedia and that viewers should check it out. Link to direct comment here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzGFyRfJIv4?t=216 Sounds like she doesn't frequent her page, as it hasn't been on Wikipedia since 2017. However, it looks like it's been confirmed. Shall we add it back? To be fair, it is an interesting middle name and worth noting, I think.
