Photo

@Krimuk2.0: Could you elaborate to what you meant by What? in the revert of my edit please. 86.170.13.28 (talk) 12:00, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ancestry

So why is it that Johnny Depp having one African ancestor from freaking 1612 warrants a American people of African descent category on his page, yet Emilia's grandmother, whom she was actually alive to know, the grandmother she was named after, the grandmother she went to India to scatter her ashes for, is too "distant" to note that she has some Indian ancestry that she confirmed herself? smh, y'all are so illogical....

Date of Birth

The only source that has an exact date is celebsnow.co.uk, HBO source is a deadlink, toofab.com doesn't exactly give an exact date, just said that the wiki article had it wrong before. Are any of the links reliable? Govvy (talk) 22:24, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't see the old archived talk, seems unclear, so many sources with different dates, heh, it does seem pretty unclear. Govvy (talk) 22:33, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Govvy: Sorry for not making clear that the birthdate had been discussed previously. As you have now realised this is a confusing issue and what we may normally call reliable sources contradict each other. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 22:19, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sourced now with Baltimore Sun. Rusted AutoParts 22:36, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I clicked on the link and got this "Unfortunately, our website is currently unavailable in most European countries. We are engaged on the issue and committed to looking at options that support our full range of digital offerings to the EU market. We continue to identify technical compliance solutions that will provide all readers with our award-winning journalism." Govvy (talk) 22:37, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Rusted AutoParts: This Tweet disagrees with the day of birth with no comment on the month or year. I am grateful for your efforts but could you please remove the birthday? Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 22:19, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That tweet is really confusing, official British government documents gave a year and month, but we can't use those as sources. The only source that seems remotely helpful might be celebsnow.co.uk that is the only website giving an exact full DoB that matches anything close, yet we need to establish if that is a reliable source to use. Govvy (talk) 01:12, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Govvy Celebsnow is absolutely not a reliable source. It's akin to the Enquirer. It's a tabloid. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 02:23, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Then Emir was probably right in removing the DoB, all those sources should be removed also, leaving a source that is deemed unreliable with DoB wasn't helpful. Govvy (talk) 12:42, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
How about this article in Elle? --Count Count (talk) 13:04, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I would say that Elle magazine has a much better reputation than most. Govvy (talk) 13:39, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for finding that Count Count. I would say that is a good enough source for the article. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:27, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I stripped out the other citations and replaced with the Elle one. Govvy (talk) 17:35, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Govvy. This article now has the correct birthdate. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:37, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Cheers, Sorry about earlier btw, but now I look back on it, there were too many citations, it was like that analogy, too many cooks spoil the broth, too many citations could confuse the reader, etc. Hopefully we can keep the article clean and precise. Govvy (talk) 18:20, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, we have extensively discussed how to relay her birth date before; see Talk:Emilia Clarke/Archive 1#Correct her birthdate. Sources disagreeing is an issue. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 04:18, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lead image

The Optimistic One, this is a poor lead image. We try to avoid a lead image of the subject making a facial expression such as that. We want the subject's face to be neutral or for the subject to be smiling. Newer is not always better for images. Yes, Clarke dyed her hair blond, and the image showcases that, but it's still a poor lead image. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 04:15, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Flyer22 Reborn: It does appear that her mouth is open in the photo but whether it's a facial expression or not is debatable. The Optimistic One (talk) 04:23, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure what type of argument you are making. "[W]hether it's a facial expression or not is debatable"? Huh? I'll leave a message about this at MOS:IMAGES, WP:BIOGRAPHY and WP:TV for more opinions. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 04:26, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
How about this one? . The Optimistic One (talk) 04:29, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
