Talk:Ezra Miller

The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, which has been designated as a contentious topic.

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator. Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page.

This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more non-binary people. Precedence should be given to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, anywhere in article space, even when it doesn't match what's most common in reliable sources. Any person whose gender might be questioned should be referred to by the pronouns, possessive adjectives, and gendered nouns (for example "man/woman", "waiter/waitress", "chairman/chairwoman") that reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification. Many, but not all, non-binary people go by singular they pronouns, which are acceptable for use in articles. This applies in references to any phase of that person's life, unless the subject has indicated a preference otherwise. Former, pre-transition names may only be included if the person was notable while using the name; outside of the main biographical article, such names should only appear once, in a footnote or parentheses.

If material violating this guideline is repeatedly inserted, or if there are other related issues, please report the issue to the LGBTQ+ WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.

Terrible grammar

It doesn’t even make sense. Who’s “they”? This is a serious problem in the West. Read some history books. This is some thin ice you people are walking on. 2600:1700:4BE0:4A30:90D8:C3BB:F03A:A9A5 (talk) 06:09, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See MOS:GENDERID and the linked article on singular they for the Wikipedia policy on this, the long history of use, and other organizations/authorities that accept singular they as correct English. This question/complaint has been made many times on talk pages about individual people, including Miller; see the archive. Jamie7687 (talk) 20:26, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NOT thin ice! LOL Mike Allen 20:44, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I support wikpedia comedy, and I identify as a female octopus. Wastrel Way (talk)Eric

Having read the article, I just wanted to mention that this "they" situation, beyond any self-identification issue, does make for pretty awkward reading and impairs clarity. 2A01:E0A:DC:3360:C592:E863:27E2:7A91 (talk) 12:57, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@2A01:E0A:DC:3360:C592:E863:27E2:7A91

It is pretty stupid. First time I've noticed in on wikipedia. It seems odd to insert politics into an article. 90.251.17.170 (talk) 17:23, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seems odd that it should even be political. But here we are. Mike Allen 20:04, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stop acting like you're on some moral high ground, so confused that "it should even be political".

You know full well that people like *you* are the ones being political by catering to this gender nonsense in articles. 71.15.251.158 (talk) 01:42, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Feel better? Mike Allen 09:23, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The grammar of this article is ridiculous. 2603:6080:21F0:6000:3C7B:EDD2:F518:C0F4 (talk) 04:27, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's ridiculous just on the basis of clarity. It's confusing and makes it sound like the article's referring to multiple people.

Wikipedia likes to pretend it's some sort of be-all and end-all source of knowledge, but then it allows confusing and misleading entries for the sake of catering to ridiculous political agendas. 71.15.251.158 (talk) 01:38, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Iceland incident

Why is this article missing the statement that was given about the video from the Icelandic Police Department?

"Gunnar Rúnar Sveinbjörnsson, a spokesman for the Reykjavik Metropolitan Police, tells TheWrap that officers were never called to the scene of the alleged altercation and no injuries were ever reported to the police. “No one was arrested or placed in custody regarding this,” Sveinbjörnsson said."

https://www.thewrap.com/ezra-miller-not-under-investigation-choking-woman/

That statement was given in 2020, and reported on again in 2021.

"Reykjavík Metropolitan Police press officer Gunnar Rúnar Sveinbjörnsson told The Daily Beast in an email that police were not called to the scene, and that no one was arrested or placed in custody." https://www.thedailybeast.com/justice-league-fans-shouldnt-forget-about-the-ezra-miller-attack-video

Seems wrong to not include what the actual police said about this. All the other information cited is unreliable hearsay. 108.21.91.23 (talk) 02:29, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He should be addressed as a "he". Thanks for fixing this. 82.45.232.165 (talk) 09:52, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: See the top of this talk page for pronouns. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 10:03, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I literally get confused by this use of "They". Not being a jerk. 136.32.78.179 (talk) 16:17, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support. The politics and subjectivity of this and other articles is a huge detriment to the project.

Ezra's grandmother

Is she also of Dutch and German descent? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.54.226.59 (talk) 20:14, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pronouns

Instead of using pronouns, try using Ezra or Miller. It sounds better and not sounding uneducated. 2600:1009:B1C1:D6DD:2D91:466D:1728:5912 (talk) 11:54, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We go with what the article subject has stated as their pronouns. Knitsey (talk) 14:21, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
