Acting criticisms

Like Jason Statham, Cavill's acting capability has been repeatedly criticised in reviews of featured projects (recurring criticisms include a lack of range, depth and personality, "stilted" or "wooden" performances as well as his perceived poor attempts at an American accent), can this be noted here in the same manner as Statham's article? -- 2A02:C7F:38FC:A300:9018:F770:7FB1:3DA3 (talk) 21:12, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, if you can provide reliable sources to back up your claims. InfiniteNexus (talk) 22:44, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Remove "Untitled Man of Steel sequel" and "The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare" from the filmography. Films that have not yet started production should not be listed there per WP:CRYSTALBALL. "Awaiting release" doesn't need to be in the notes section of "Enola Holmes 2" either.

2601:152:880:2B0:4F2:3823:D179:29E8 (talk) 21:19, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done: The "Awaiting Release" note and Man of Steel sequel were removed by another editor here. I think The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare might be OK, because I see it is listed in Guy Ritchie as well. But I will defer to other editors. TimSmit (talk) 18:49, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would consider this request done. Grorp (talk) 02:15, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

is this enough? Do I send more? I actually have a screenshot of one of your editors saying they will delete any change to Henry Cavill’s girlfriend from wikipedia. Sounds like you need to check your editors. 2A02:27B0:5304:7970:B96C:F99F:B6C5:A6F2 (talk) 11:04, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think Instagram posts work as sources, but I have added Cavill's relationship with Viscuso using the sources Elle and Derry Journal, which also make references to the pair's social media posts.TywysogMelyn (talk) 13:14, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see that User:Paintedwolf8888 has removed this information because 'Wikipedia is not just Jared. Relationship information is not encyclopedic, as per Wikipedia's guidelines.' This explanation is all sneer and no substance. Ten words stating in a neutral tone the uncontroversial fact that the subject is publicly in a long-term relationship does not turn Wikipedia into a gossip repository.

The vague reference to the 'guidelines' with no guideline mentioned is noted. The relevant section is WP:NOTGOSSIP and permits not only those facts 'for which subjects have notability' but also those in 'which our readers are reasonably likely to have an interest'. As long as the relationship is mentioned succinctly without trivial details (I did not mention their new dog), there is clearly no guideline infringement. That is not a controversial point of view: consulting other actors' articles is enough to observe a site-wide WP:Consensus that this information is well within the normal bounds of inclusion.TywysogMelyn (talk) 15:15, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Henry Cavill is a known and confirmed catholic and it doesn’t appear on his Wikipedia. https://www.beliefnet.com/celebrity-faith-database/c/henry-cavill.aspx 92.172.39.97 (talk) 08:28, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. not convinced this is a WP:RS, but even if it were, your source writes "Henry Cavill was born in 1983, the fourth of five boys in a Roman Catholic family, but it’s unclear if he still practices Catholicism."

I recommend including the fact that Henry Cavill filmed scenes for the Flash movie that were cut in post-production. Subsequently, his likeness briefly appeared in the film through the use of computer-generated imagery (CGI). 2601:240:4180:CB80:AD20:CFA9:4BA9:F11A (talk) 16:51, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

in the third paragraph of "personal life" it says "with motivating" - I think "that" is missing between those two words 2604:3D09:A478:8E20:4173:1887:9081:A0B9 (talk) 23:50, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: I think it's correct as is. It's essentially - "He credited XXX with motivating him to seek out the role of Geralt". Cannolis (talk) 01:24, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Characteristic eyes

Henry Cavil has sectoral (partial) heterochromia of his left eye with a blue lower hemicycle of his left iris and a brown upper hemicycle. This is well known to be a genetical characteristic of some individuals or a result of eye colour change surgery with laser depigmentation. Should such information be included in his page? PaschalisD (talk) 21:30, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@PaschalisD: Do you have a reliable source that supports your claim? - FlightTime (open channel) 21:44, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can see it on every close-up photo of his eyes. For example here: https://pin.it/3BceWC6wy

There is also a businessinsider article about it, here: https://www.businessinsider.com/celebrities-with-different-colored-eyes-2018-8 PaschalisD (talk) 23:25, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 10 April 2024 The Wikipedia page for Henry Cavill's Superman.

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The correct title for Henry Cavill's Superman is "Superman (DC Extended Universe)" and not "Clark Kent (DC Extended Universe)". Please make this change in the biography at the top of Henry Cavill's Wikipedia page and in the filmography section. Thank you! :) 2601:240:4180:CB80:DDF4:C10:4774:2B5E (talk) 18:13, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Already done —Sirdog (talk) 21:02, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

grammar.

In Career's third paragraph, there is sentence: "The role eventually went to Robert Pattinson. Stephenie Meyer, the author of the Twilight series, was outspoken in favour of Cavill playing the character of Edward Cullen in the Twilight film, calling him her "perfect Edward".". Can anyoe correct it 182.183.45.116 (talk) 17:38, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar's fine. It's saying that he is her perfect Edward. DonQuixote (talk) 18:15, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh okay. But, can comma be added for clarification like: calling him, her "perfect Edward." 182.183.45.116 (talk) 18:39, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That would be a misplaced comma. "Him her", "him his", "that that", "had had", etc. are common English word pairings. DonQuixote (talk) 19:10, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The repeated use of "reportedly" indicates that this is a rumor at this point. Wikipedia does not include random show business rumors until and unless they are substantiated by solid evidence. Cullen328 (talk) 04:45, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change the ordering of ‘best known for’ roles by order of… best known. They are listed in one of the very first sentences of the page. His role in The Tudors is most definitely not better known than his role as Superman nor the Witcher. I can’t say for Sherlock Holmes

So my request is to change: “ He is known for his portrayal of Charles Brandon in Showtime's The Tudors (2007–2010), Superman in the DC Extended Universe (2013–2023), Geralt of Rivia in the Netflix fantasy series The Witcher (2019–2023) and Sherlock Holmes in the Netflix film Enola Holmes (2020) and its 2022 sequel. “

To: “ He is known for his portrayal of Superman in the DC Extended Universe (2013–2023), Geralt of Rivia in the Netflix fantasy series The Witcher (2019–2023), Charles Brandon in Showtime's The Tudors (2007–2010) and Sherlock Holmes in the Netflix film Enola Holmes (2020) and its 2022 sequel. “ Orri321 (talk) 12:04, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: These are in chronological order per MOS:CHRONOLOGICAL, this is standard across actor biographies. Jamedeus (talk) 17:36, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
