Hello Thedarkknightli. Please see my closure of the complaint you filed at

Hello Darknightli. I've reduced the article protection to semi, but the claim of her Filipino descent seems incorrect. Per

WP:BLP it shouldn't be restored to the article without a reliable source. The Cupcake Magazine reference has disappeared from the web, perhaps due to a request from Bryant's representatives. See here for the closure of the edit warring report and notice the comments by the IP about Cupcake Magazine. EdJohnston (talk) 19:16, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello! We talk before reversing. You probably knew that here but didn't seem to care. Sad to see. My Wikipedia work is to provide the reader with good info, not to get my way no matter what. Yours should be too. SergeWoodzing (talk) 12:14, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Greetings. You reverted the edit abt parentage in the

Hi @The Gnome, Fassbender identifies as Irish and holds German citizenship so I thought it was fine to say "German and Irish". Hyphenated terms should generally be avoided when we describe someone's nationality imo. However, I admit discussion is definitely needed so feel free to restore your edit before we reach a consensus.

Thanks for the response. I don't think we can avoid, nor should we, the hyphen: Italian-American, Greek-American, and so on. (Well, the hyphen was exiled altogether once but that was for a movie title!) The hyphenated notation is still standard in almost all media. By the way, is there in nationality/ethnicity something analogous to how we denote gender in Wikipedia? I mean, is the issue decided by as what one identifies? This is a tricky area. -The Gnome (talk) 18:50, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

@The Gnome: Not sure about that (cuz my knowledge is limited tbh). As for his nationality, I suggest omitting it in the lead sentence and explaining later (e.g. "... is an actor. Born in Germany to a mother from Northern Ireland and a German father, he relocated to Ireland at age two ...") as we've already done in Elon Musk, Tina Turner, Russell Crowe, etc. I think this is a better way cuz, you see, we can only prove his German citizenship but Germany doesn't seem to play a big role in his identity. Thedarkknightli (talk) 20:05, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

We have no way of knowing what attribute, if any, MF considers to have "a big role in his identity." We know for a fact that MF has a German father. This is irrevocably one half of his parentage. Even if MF were to denounce his father's nationality or something similar, that fact does not change. So, I cannot see any reason to try and get around something trivially established as true: Father of X nationality and mother of Z nationality. The standard practice is to introduce the person by its nationality,

as simply & briefly as possible, in the lead section. (I think you are looking for something new in WP BLPs, something you believe is an improvement. You might be right but this is not the way, i.e. article by article, to change established practice.) -The Gnome (talk) 10:50, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Well, sorry for being impetuous (again). Thanks for your time, @The Gnome! Anyway, I’ve taken this issue to the article’s talk page. Thedarkknightli (talk) 18:52, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Re [1], please go ahead and do the honours...ie if its acceptable add four or five major works, but leave out the awards. We can haggle about which works to include over the next few decades, but I think this should resolve the "dispute". Talk then. Ceoil (talk) 18:44, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
